Devotee

When a farmer sows seeds. Some seeds get eaten by birds even before they can germinate. Some are scattered here and there and don't get enough water or fertilizer. They grow a little then no further. But those seeds which get enough water, good soil and fertilizer at the right times are the ones which produce the best crops. A tiny seed turns into a shoot then a strong plant or a mighty tree, providing cereals or fruit. We have to become like this type of seed. A devotee needs the showers of satsang. If he doesn't do meditation and service, he will not achieve self-realization. If he doesn't do service, he cannot be called a devotee. He must be sincere, and if he serves the Master sincerely in thought, word and deed, he will succeed.
