The True Taste of Bhakti

Those with a taste for materialistic and worldly ways of life wish to live long to enjoy the sensory pleasures.
Those who get Satsang (Company of Divine) and perform a little Bhakti (Devotion) get tired of life very soon and don't want to live long!
Some consider Bhakti and Satsang as a means for Moksha and hence want to die early!
This is before they have not progressed enough in Bhakti to consider it as anything other than a means for liberation.
If we read the scriptures and the prayers of Maha Bhakthas, we find that they have always cried out to be blessed with in many many Janmas to come. These are the Mahans who nourish the true taste for Bhakti!
