Swami Vishwananda & the Qualities of a Devotee

Sri Swami Vishwananda says "A devotee, when they are spreading the love, spreading the word of the Lord, the Lord considers them a carrier, a light carrier, bringing His love. To those who are such an example, everyone looks upon and tries to copy. A bhakta has this quality of surrender to the Lord, and bringing this knowledge to others, is considered to be the dearest to the Lord, because it is the Lord Himself who moves in the bhakta.

A bhakta which is always in deep awareness of the Lord, with full devotion, is dearer to Him than anyone else. So such is the charity, the service, the worship, the japam, the meditation of a bhakta. That every breath, every time, every second is a continuous reminder of the sweetness of this nectar of the Lord, remembering the Lord at all times."
