There is a certain symptom that is manifest in the person who is sheltered. He is able to face adversity without being disturbed, he is able to go on serving, taking shelter of the Holy Name of the Lord without any material consideration. It Is not artificial. It Is tangible. It is experienced within the heart. When the devotee feels that shelter within the heart, he can go on serving in the face of adversity; he can go on thinking of the welfare of others in the face of his own adversities.
