bhaktiḥ
The recognition (that the Lord is giver of the fruits of action) which makes one a devotee; love without duality; devotion; committed love.
In Vedanta
Devotion to Īśvara — in Vedānta, not mere emotional attachment but a mature understanding of one's relationship with the Lord. Bhakti includes the recognition of Īśvara as the giver of the fruits of action (karma-phala-dātā) and the trust that the Lord's order is just. In its highest form (parā-bhakti), bhakti becomes identical with jñāna — the recognition that there is no separation between the devotee and Brahman.
