You just have to find it.

The actions of an awakened being
have no personal investments.
They simply do what is necessary
without identification, without judgment.
They are simply a witness.
They can continue doing everything
but they are somehow unattached inside,
so they keep their equilibrium.
You, the true seeker, must be the same.
You remain universal,
even while you are serving the particular.
And it is not even something you are doing.
It is also just a happening.
You are not insisting it is bad or good.
You are just spontaneously playing your role.
And being unattached, your role is played very well.
Each action or gesture is appropriate to
the needs of the moment.
This is a little clue, a little view into the mind of
an awakened being.
Their peace is never lost.
Their universality is never exchanged for a private concern.
Even though they can appreciate
the varied expressions of consciousness,
they are not invested in any particular expression.
These are the vibrations of an angelic being.
All their expressions are loving and fair,
not shaped or determined by human culture or habit,
but by divine harmony and pure will.
They may appear to the outsider as
doing something personal,
but internally their minds are in pure serenity,
vast, inscrutable.
Who am I describing here?
You in your true and natural state.

quotes
It isn't any and every kind of bhakti that enables one to realize God. One cannot realize God without prema-bhakti. Another name for prema-bhakti is raga-bhakti. (Supreme love, which makes one attached only to God.) God cannot be realized without love and longing. Unless one has learnt to love God, one cannot realize Him.
"But some acquire raga-bhakti directly. It is innate in them. They have it from their very childhood. Even at an early age they weep for God. An instance of such bhakti is to be found in Prahlada.
~Sri Ramakrishna
💐💐💐💐
The longing due to separation from the Lord has a unique sweetness. Intense longing and crying for the Lord always turn into happiness. They are really blessed who are so fortunate as to be gifted with this condition.
Longing produces love and veneration for the Beloved. God is Love. Therefore, the devotee comes nearer to the Lord in proportion to the degree of his longing. He also realizes in greater degree the value of his Beloved,
so much so that the pure and noble form of the Beloved is always fixed in his mind.
~Sant Kirpal Singh ji
self
.....You are originally Paramatman but with the aid of Consciousness you are transformed into Aum, or the specialized I, which is ultimately represented by the ego. If one fails to understand that the entire material and manifest world is untrue, then the ego persists and one takes birth. The ego is responsible for your birth. It is the I itself which takes birth, and with the aid of the body the cycle of desires and fears and I and mine dominant the individual of Jiva.
Even though the body is perishable and impure Lord Rama resides in it. He is omnipresent and is found in everything. In order to find peace and attain knowledge you have to rid yourself of all the desires and fears associated with the body. In earlier times, people in the twilight of their lives would retire themselves from active worldly life and live in the forests to find peace. You must go into this final stage of life before it's too late, before the knowledge inside you takes the final plunge! An aspirant must have a spark of interest, which is enough to light the fire of knowledge. The knowledge that "I am Brahman" can be attained. But how? Think as to how one could be Brahman! When you contemplate upon it incessantly what you find is your Self. You gain immensely from this exercise. That you have forgotten yourself if the barrier. It has to be overcome by contemplation. Knowledge follows automatically and you now change. The change has come to stay and you are permanently united with the Self.
When the root of all animate and inanimate beings is traced and understood, knowledge is attained. This is because the roots of all animate and inanimate beings lie in the knowledge itself. Knowledge itself is the origin of this world. It does not require the aid of any external agent to make itself evident. It is Self-evident. It is acquired only when you are immersed in the natural state.
"The natural state is the best,
Meditation and practice only come next.
Then comes idol worship, which is but a waste,
Pilgrimage is lower than the lowest."
When knowledge is attained you go beyond space. Similarly since the origin of the animate and inanimate has been understood, you have transcended the bounds of space. You will no longer be limited by space. You understand the nature of your own Self, and now are in the form of the knowledge of the Self. That by virtue of which you have come to know and discriminate between animate and inanimate is the Atman, the Self. God owes his Godliness to me, the Self. Hence the Godliness of God is my own expression. The rain also derives its innate property from the Self. That by virtue of which the leg is invigorated is also the Self. The Self lends vigor to the leg. The Self is Almighty. The Self is God. The beholder is invested with the absolute power of ascribing qualities to all that he beholds. Whether to treat all that he perceives as true or untrue is entirely to his discretion, If he concentrates on that which is untrue, he is deeply affected by it, and the false world dons a realistic mask. If he concentrates on that which is true, he automatically concentrates on the Almighty without being aware of it. Almighty is the ultimate truth. Hence he inevitably comes across the Almighty.
"The Almighty dwells within
Elsewhere, if you search for him,
Dnyanadeva says you have lost your way,
You will only be led astray".
He resides in every heart and dwells with one and all. Idol worship provides succor only to the ignorant. An average aspirant resorts to meditation while those who are superior take the plunge within. Submerged in the natural state, the "I am" state, they remain ever so blissful!

"Know that your present state of consciousness, which you call being awake, when compared with the real awake state, is nothing but a dream state. Your life is a dream within the mighty dream of God which is the universe."

solitude
Devotee:Is solitude is necessary for vichara?
Maharshi : There is solitude everywhere. The individual is solitary always. His business is to find it out within, and not seek it without.

Time and space always change, but there is something which is eternal and changeless.
Let us try to find out that which is changeless and which always exists.
