"Sraddha and Bhakthi"

From Partha's blog . Found it a perfect defintion of the attitude with which we ought to lead our lives.

Sraddha* without bhakthi** is arrogance, while bhakthi without sraddha is laziness!

*By Sraddha, I mean an attitude of total commitment to all future events and activities. A state of mind where one is determined to give ones best for what is to come.

** By Bhakthi, I mean an attitude of total acceptance to everything that has happened and is happening. A state of mind that offers absolutely no resistance to what happens. Even better, a state of mind that welcomes gleefully everything that happens, even if it is diametrically opposite to what we were trying to accomplish with sraddha!
