An email from a spiritual organization showed up in my inbox about devotion. I hadn't given much thought to that word, since I haven't really followed any spiritual practice guided by a human form until now. Have I become devotional? I would say that I have deepened my desire to know the subtleties of the world behind what most of us experience daily in a physical body. I am enlisting the help of a teacher who understands and can act as a guide. My focus is still on the path. Not too different than seeking a mastery for dancing or riding. At the end of the day, I can only follow the path that is unique to my destiny/design. Who am I is still the question even if I am looking beyond time and space. Before my answer would contain height, weight, eye/hair color, profession descriptors and now it would be some effort to find words to describe a limitlessness that is all part of The Divine.
Great timing, The Bowl of Saki offered these thoughts today.
Devotion to a spiritual teacher is not for the sake of the teacher, it is for God.
