" Devotion is also practiced by seeing all happenings as coming from God and having no resentment or resistance from the ego. This resentment gives way to doubt which is a killer on the path of Yoga. Itsays in the Gita the doubter is the most miserable of mortals. As regards meditation experiences, one should have a "what will be will be" attitude and should not snap at God like a hungry dog,as Anandamoy says.
Devotion also means seeGod as the doer of all actions. "

These words all imply that to be a bhakta is to be a jnani and karma yogi as well.

Seeing God as the Doer is accomplished only by sadhana. It has to be realized rather than merely imagined. Seeing God as Doer is the experience of the jnani, who sees only God everywhere at all times. See how close jnana is to bhakti and to karma and other yogas as well? They are all the products of the same Self-realization.
