Actualize Your Dreams With Devotion
Devotion is the greatest power that can help up accomplish our dreams. Devotion arises from deep in your heart, and it is the will to be true to yourself. Your true heart is full of sincerity without falseness. Devotion comes naturally when you give yourself to a clear, divine purpose, which becomes your center and your roots. It is an expression of the purified mind; it is a desire to become brighter and to grow.
Hope will never leave the heart of someone who lives with a child's mind. No matter what is said, whatever happens outside of the heart, such a person will always feel gratitude and happiness in life. Likewise, someone with a devotional heart cannot be lazy. However, one who has lost devotion will easily become useless and fall into despair. When devotion disappears, we become lethargic and discontented.
There is a difference in performing a task with utmost devotion and just doing it without resting. Devotion is like focusing sunlight through a magnifying glass to start a fire. It takes time and constancy. With devotion there is focus to generate enough energy to light a fire; just doing something out of a sense of obligation results in weak and dispersed energy that disappears without producing anything.
Initially, you may be devoted because you expect something back. Once this devotion becomes sincere, expectations diminish and devotion grows, until expectations disappear entirely and only devotion remains. Through this, even the grandest vision can be actualized on its own without struggle.
People have a hard time doing things with true devotion because they live their lives without focusing 100% on the present moment. If you are not focused on this moment now, you are caught between worries about the future and attachments to the past. There is no space for devotion in this state, so devote yourself completely to the present moment.
