11

Although devotional service is one, it becomes manifested in eleven forms of attachment: 
  1. to the Lord's glorious qualities, 
  2. to His beauty, 
  3. to worshiping Him, 
  4. to remembering Him, 
  5. to serving Him, 
  6. to reciprocating with Him as a friend, 
  7. to caring for Him as a parent, 
  8. to dealing with Him as a lover, 
  9. to surrendering one's whole self to Him, 
  10. to being absorbed in thought of Him, and 
  11. to experiencing separation from Him. This last is the supreme attachment. 
—Narada-bhakti-sutra 82
