The third kind is a devotee who always remains joyful, keeps smiling, dancing and singing; a joyful devotee .

The first kind is a devotee who keeps asking, ‘God give me this’, ‘God give me that.’ 

          The second kind is a devotee who is always grateful, ‘Thank you God, you gave me this and you gave me that’; a devotee who is emotional, prayerful and keeps crying out of gratitude.  

        The third kind is a devotee who always remains joyful, keeps smiling, dancing and singing; a joyful devotee .  

          All three are different kinds of devotees and yet all three are supreme. It is not that one is greater than another – that is not so. So there is, a crying devotee, a laughing devotee, and a devotee who keeps asking – which category are you in, you can see that for yourself. 

           It is possible that a little of all three may be there in you. That also is okay. Then that would be the fourth kind of devotee – one who has a little bit of all the three present.
