Ways to approach God is by practising any one of five dualistic attitudes, or modes. These attitudes, or modes, are manifested in the relationship between the devotee and God, and they are: Shanta Bhava, the peace and stillness felt in the presence of God Dasya Bhava, the attitude of a servant towards his Master Sakhya Bhava, the attitude of a friend towards a Friend Vatsalya Bhava, the attitude of a parent towards a Child Madhura Bhava, the attitude of a lover towards the Beloved. The idea behind this classification is to help the spiritual aspirant intensify his relationship with God according to his own inner nature. This is a natural path to God-realization.
