"Bhakhti or devotion to God is not to be judged or measured by rosaries or candles, daubings on the forehead or matted hair or jingles on the ankles; purity of motive and intention is essential, so that Prema which is the one component of Bhakthi does not leak out of the heart.
The genuine outer signs of Bhakthi are three: faith, humility and apprehension. Faith is the ultimate victory of truth and love; humility before elders and the wise; apprehension in the presence of evil; fear to mix with bad company, to enter into evil designs, to act counter to the whisperings of conscience."
