Desa Mangayarkarasi said in a discourse that devotion should be characterised by a constant remembrance of God, coupled with deep faith. Vacillation is repugnant to the concept of devotion because the mind is fickle and it loses concentration. Saivaite saint Sri Ramalinga Adigalar cites three important qualities for devotion (ninaindhu ninaindhu — unarndhu unarndhu — negizhndhu negizhndhu). We should try to realise Him through our mind and soul by constant and steadfast devotion. What ultimately holds in life is devotion to God which leads to salvation.
