Sagun Bhakti is serving God. Nirgun Bhakti is doing work
given by God.
In Ramayana, when Rama leaved for vanavas, Lakshmana accompanied
Rama and served him. He could not imagine is life without Rama. This is form of
Saguna Bhakti. Whereas Bharat looked after the kingdom on behalf of Rama and did
his duties staying away from Rama is Nirgun Bhakti.
Serving God, serving parents, serving our country is Sagun
Bhakti. Doing things for betterment of this world is Nirgun Bhakti. Sagun Bhakti is easier than Nirgun Bhakti. But both kind of
Bhakt are equally dear to the God. Sagun Bhakti is full of love and Nirgun
Bhakti is based on knowledge. Sagun Bhakti is based on dependence on God.
Nirgun Bhakti is based on self dependence.
Both are not complete without each other. When Sagun Bhakt
depends on some person when he loses that person he should be able to live life
based on his principles. In difficult situation Sagun Bhakt should be able to
live life based on principles stated in his Dharama by his God. Hence Bhagwan
Buddha says, ‘Buddham Sharanam Gachchami, Sangaham Sharanam Gachchhami, Dharmam
Sharanam Gachchhami’.
