Dynamics of Divine Form–1
Primarily let us try to investigate into the inevitability of these Divine components in ameliorating and edifying the tendencies of our own sensory organs which are under the command and control of our own mind. This mind is always fickle and restless. Somehow we could control it in our life to some peripheral extent with the help of parents, school-teachers, training centres and so on in order to achieve what and remain where we are right now. All this travail snatched the very cream of our life and encroached into the entire vitals of our basic being, perhaps even without our notice.
All the three levels of our existence, namely, the biological, the emotional and the intellectual ones are partly owned by worldly pre-occupations while the spare capacity is used for mere entertainment to some extent leaving some of our faculties sluggish or even slumbering.
Spirituality which is the fourth level of our existence receives no healthy and fully nourishing feeding at all. This is either undirected or ill-directed or even fully frozen in some cases.
In spirituality, all fragilities and frailties, generated by untrained mind and sense-organs have to be eradicated through the processes of the science of self-knowledge, or ennobled through the yogic science or purified by fully dedicating the whole domain of biological, emotional and intellectual responsiveness of the spiritual seeker to the Chosen Deity or Ishta Daiva with deep sense of devotion.This way of total devotion is the philosophy of Devotion.
The Gopikaas of Bhaagavataa are the only ideal here. They constantly chanted the name of Lord Krishna. They continuously adored the Form of Lord Krishna. They incessantly sang the qualities and glories of Lord Krishna. They directly participated in the exploits of the Lord or at times witnessed
them and endlessly remembered and deeply enjoyed in reliving them as long as they lived in their mortal coil here.
In our next part we try to understand how they adored the Form of the Lord, to some extent.

Namaskaaram sir. Good message.
Today’s article has a very important message for spiritual seekers.You explained very clearly that a devotee by surrendering himself to his chosen diety totally can purify his mind
This is an easier path than the other two;that of self knowledge and yogic science. By citing the Gopikas as an example we understand the concept with perfection.
After completing the dynamics of Name, you are gradually taking us to the dynamics of Form. In this write-up it is clearly said the need of eradicating the fragilities of our mind and also the way how a spiritual seeker has to dedicate his three levels of existence to his/her chosen diety inorder to achieve Spirituality.
Quoting gopikaas from Bhagavatha who worshipped Naama,Roopa Guna Leela Vaibhavas of Lord Krishna is an ideal example as rightly said by you.
