What is bhakti?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Bhakti is the alchemical transformation of love into an unwavering devotion, where the heart becomes a window to the Divine, revealing the unseen and the unheard through surrender."
According to Osho, bhakti is the alchemical science by which the invisible Divine becomes palpable through the heart: love refined into a boundless, irreversible devotion. Beginning as human love—the uncut diamond—it is polished into radiant surrender, turning the senses into windows of the Beyond, so the unheard is felt, the unseen seen, and every beloved becomes a doorway to God.
Bhakti is love cleaned and deepened until you can feel God shining through everything you love.
