This article is of Shree Bhakti Vardhini.

Shree Vallabhacharya herein advocates the main means of accelerating devotion viz renunciation, hearing and singing of GOD's divine glory.Shree Vallabh in this granth asserts that one should completely devote himself to God's devine service at home, with or without any occupation. Aap Shree also describes the three stages of developement of devotion. These are affection, attachment and addiction. In Final stage of this Grantha, Shree Vallabh concludes that one engaged in divine service of Shree Krushna and/ or in hearing and/or singing God's Devine Glory will never perish.

Devotion gets accelerated when the seed form of devotion and basic impulse gets firm with renunciation of (sense of I and mine) and by listening and singing glory og God.

To affirm this seeds of devotion one should worship Shree Krishna in one's residence without any worldly involvements,and with deligent observance of one's own religious principles, by way of adoration, that is to God's idol and listening of God's glory.

Even when one is otherwise involved, one should always try to devote his/her mind in Shree Krishna and in listening God's glory.

With this, one develops affection (in god) and further attachment (mature Love)in god then it further turns into addiction. When one reaches this stage, it is called in scriptures, as affirmed seed of devotion which does not perish.

With affection for God, allurement for worldly objects perishes. The attachment for God, results in dislike for homely affairs, people living in the home appear to be impediments and not belonging to one self. When one is in addiction stage with Krushna, then one gets complete fulfillment.

For even those ardent devotes in the path of grace, continuously stays in residence is destructive.So after foresaking (home) if one wants to please God with one's mind permanantly engaged only for God, one will attain supreme divine devotion which is very firm and superior to that of anyone else.

Renunciation, due to company of undesireable (Dusang) and due to consumption of food not offered to GOD (Asamarpeet)will become or result in more handicaps in accelerating of devotion. Hence, one should reside where Krushna is, that is, near temple or in home where there is Krushna-seva, and one should also keep in company with devoted godly persons and whether far or near, but one should live so that conscience is not vitiated. That is "Chitum Na Dushyati".

Shree Mahaprabhuji says (in Bhakti vardhini)"I believe that one, who remains deeply attached and engrossed in propitation of Shree Krushna or in discourses of Krushna, does not ever perish, anytime, anywhere throughout his life".

Sevayam Va Kathayam Va yasyasktir dradhha Bhavet Yavatijivam Tasya Nasho Na Kwapiti Matirmam (9)

If there is a likelyhood of obstruction in devotion, it is then not desireable to live in seclusion. Of course, there is no doubt that Shree Krushna will always protect him in all respects.

So that way, the secret reality of sacred precept of Shree Krushna has been very well narrated and one who intensively study this will also get endowed with from love for Krushna.

This is a humble short devotuional renderation on Shree Bhakti Vardhani by Shree Vallabhacharya.
