How Important is Devotion?
Devotion is the continuous flow of desire toward an object or goal.
It is essential, and the engine that propels us on the path of enlightenment. Jesus said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.”
This is the magic formula – desire toward a goal, which spawns action toward that goal. Continuous desire is the fuel. Daily action is the fire. The word “continuous” is important, as is the word “goal.” Without these two operative functions, desires are scattered, actions are unfocused, and not much happens. With them, anything is achievable.
