Devotion
“Devotion is a name for the feeling, the psychological climate, the heart of a devotee. God is not essential to it. Devotion can exist without God… For those whose hearts are filled with devotion, the whole world turns into God. And people devoid of devotion ask, “Where is God?” But no one can tell them where God is, because this very world, seen through the eyes and heart of the devotee, becomes God.
The world is not God, but a heart full of devotion sees the world as God. What we find in the world is just a projection; we see in the world that which we are. The world is just a mirror; it reflects us as we are. As the feeling of devotion deepens, the world itself turns into God. Not that God is sitting in a heaven or in a temple. No. Devotion finds godliness in everything and everywhere. ”

“…The world is just a mirror, it reflects us as we are. ..” How wise it really is! I’ve seen that it refers to lots of aspects in my life. whenever I share happiness and a smile, for example, it turns back to me, just like I see myself smiling happily in a mirror…
nice romantic pic, too…!
“whenever I share happiness and a smile, for example”
Nice example. 🙂
Beautiful! I love this, “For those whose hearts are filled with devotion, the whole world turns into God.” My heart is full of resurrection Life and pure Love from our Creator of heaven and earth! Happy Resurrection!
p.s. may I use the graceful, beautiful photo? It touches my soul and feeds it such gentleness!
Yes, of course, you are more than welcome to use the picture. I don’t own it. I took it from online somewhere. I don’t even remember where I got it. It is a beautiful picture. I’ve been waiting for a long time to use it somewhere. She is so lovely. I thought it fitting for a post on devotion on Good Friday.
I’m glad you like the quote. I rather like it myself (obviously). Happy Easter, my friend.
Happy Easter my sister!
