Devotion Quotes

“Circulation of Song after Rumi Once again I'm climbing the mountain Circle on circle like a winding rose Below me the mountains fall away like rose-petals I wish to be at the centre of the mystic rose Where I shall meet Him He shall greet me: Beloved! So long in coming -- He shall be the lonely pine tree On the flattened promontory And I, the spider clinging to Him by a mere thread, against the sun and the wind Each dawn the sunrise tinting gold the burnt Sienna houses Each dusk the alpine rosy glow on the mountain Each afternoon such darkness in the glen Fold on fold in a foliage all the shades of green: They have crept into my dream He is the air I breathe Purest mountain-air: I'm cleaned He is the lark's descant And in the evening, the nightingale He is the star's ascent and the moon's cloud-hiding He is all the circles and in this circulation of song: I read you / you read me circulating In my blood from head to heel He is the fruit of my unfulfilled life The peach pooped with juice And running with the Argentine waters, the pear In the Chinese nectarine flecked like a child's cheek with red And in the sour loquat and the sweet cherry In the fragrance of the jasmine of India And the Shiraz rose that makes the bee mad for them In the grape that becomes wine to suffuse my cheek In the olive that becomes a lamp to shine through my cupped hands In these and not only in these does He circulate Pouring from the sun at 5' o'clock as if at noon Dancing on the lake, pure honey And all the chatter over tea! But in the quiet you find me out You find me out Plucking myself from Me So that I become you The breath in my nape-nerve Sweetly saying: I bow to the God in you”

“Supplication creates blessing, and although the blessing is understood as something given to you, something that somehow engulfs you from the outside, in fact blessing really isn’t given to you at all. When you supplicate, you generate faith and devotion. That faith and devotion cause the appearance of what we call blessing.”

“Serving a cause means immersing yourself in it. It’s what you have chosen to devote yourself to. It’s not a hobby, a distraction, an amusement, a diversion, a way of passing your time. It’s your actual identity ... the one you have consciously and deliberately chosen for yourself, in exclusion of all others. It hasn’t been chosen by your parents for you, or by your friends for you, or by your community for you. You, no one else, has made the commitment. It’s your choice, your decision. It reflects your worldview, your chosen idea of how to lead your life. Your sacred cause is the meaning of your life, so you had better get it right.”

“You don’t get to decide what you’re worth because you obviously don’t know. You don’t get to decide that anymore because you have no fucking idea that you’re worth everything. What do you think this is? A joke? A decision I made for the hell of it? It’s not. It’s not destiny, Ox. You’re not bound by this. Not yet. There’s a choice. There is always a choice. My wolf chose you. I chose you. And if you don’t choose me, then that’s your choice and I will walk out of here knowing you got to choose your own path. But I swear to god, if you choose me, I will make sure that you know the weight of your worth every day for the rest of our lives because that’s what this is. I am going to be a fucking Alpha one day, and there is no one I’d rather have by my side than you. It’s you, Ox. For me, it’s always been you.” So I said, “Okay, Joe.” I looked up at him. His wolf was close to the surface. And he said, “Okay?” I said, “Okay. Okay. I don’t know if I see the things you do.” “I know.” “And I don’t know if I’ll be good enough.” “I know you will,” he said, eyes flashing orange. “But I promised you. I said it will always be you and me.” His face stuttered a bit, and he said, “You did. You promised me. You promised.”

“Dogs are our true friends, our angels, our teachers, our healers. They love us unconditionally, as God intended. If we look carefully, we can learn from them how to make the world a brighter and better place.”

“Whether one’s nature is serving the Lord, either as servant or as wife, such a devotion with no sense of distinction between Lord and yourself that alone is to be achieved. To move towards this experience of our oneness with the Lord, wherein the Lord and His devotee are not two, is to cultivate the path of a servant to the master or a wife to the husband. Such love is expressed in the glory of sages who have realised this fulfilment of devotion. This alone is to be achieved – prema eva kāryam.”

“In love, you are conscious, and in lust you are unconscious. Love is coolness, is giving, and has no attachments. Lust is hot and has attachments. As an evolved being and as a Soul from Mercury, you will live in love and live as a nobody. By living in lust, only “you” will exist. By living in love, only the other exists. And when you have total devotion and surrender to God, both lust and love, as you know it, will disappear into Divine Love and One Universal Love.”

“It is not necessary that we should discover new ideas in our meditation. Often this only diverts us and feeds our vanity. It is sufficient if the Word, as we read and understand it, penetrates and dwells within us. As Mary "pondered in her heart" the things that were told by the shepherds, as what we have casually overheard follows us for a long time, sticks in our mind, occupies, disturbs, or delights us, without our ability to do anything about it, so in meditation God's Word seeks to enter in and remain with us. It strives to stir us, to work and operate in us, so that we shall not get away from it the whole day long. Then it will do its work in us, often without our being conscious of it. Above all, it is not necessary that we should have any unexpected, extraordinary experiences in meditation. This can happen, but if it does not, it is not a sign that the meditation period has been useless. Not only at the beginning, but repeatedly, there will be times when we feel a great spiritual dryness and apathy, an aversion, even an inability to meditate. We dare not be balked by such experiences. Above all, we must not allow them to keep us from adhering to our meditation period with great patience and fidelity. It is, therefore, not good for us to take too seriously the many untoward experiences we have with ourselves in meditation. It is here that our old vanity and our illicit claims upon God may creep in by a pious detour, as if it were our right to have nothing but elevating and fruitful experiences, and as if the discovery of our own inner poverty were quite below our dignity. With that attitude we shall make no progress. Impatience and self-reproach will only foster our complacency and entangle us ever more deeply in the net of self-centered introspection. But there is no more time for such morbidity in meditation than there is in the Christian life as a whole. We must center our attention on the Word alone and leave consequences to its action. For may it not be that God Himself sends us these hours of reproof and dryness that we may be brought again to expect everything from His Word? "Seek God, not happiness" this is the fundamental rule of all meditation. If you seek God alone, you will gain happiness: that is its promise.”

“You want me, Charlie?” Josie’s voice was strong with emotion. “Yes, yes Josie I do.” “Well, brother I come with a price. It’s the cost of loyalty and glittering devotion. I am expensive even if your heart’s made of gold. My love is irreplaceable if you are fortunate to afford it. Returns are forever though Charlie since I won’t double back again. So, consider your intentions carefully!”

“Devotion is love with unadulterated faith, without a trace of doubt or disbelief. Who is one supposed to be devoted to? It may be the almighty. It could also be any of the prophets, preachers or enlightened souls on earth who have great vision. It could even be the deities and various other manifestations of God. They are the ones who inspire us, guide us and show us the light of wisdom. Once someone realizes that the principles and teachings of any such exceptional entities touch his heart, he reposes immense faith in them and becomes their devotee.”

“The price of a successful relationship is devotion. Devotion is, essentially, commitment to something we value. We are devoted to the wellbeing of another person and the wellbeing of the relationship. We honour the value of the other person and we honour the worth of the relationship.”

“হৃদয় তোমাকে পেয়েছি, স্রোতস্বিনী ! তুমি থেকে থেকে উত্তাল হয়ে ছোটো, কখনো জোয়ারে আকণ্ঠ বেয়ে ওঠো তোমার সে-রূপ বেহুলার মতো চিনি। তোমার উৎসে স্মৃতি করে যাওয়া আসা মনে-মনে চলি চঞ্চল অভিযানে, সাহচর্যেই চলি, নয় অভিমানে, আমার কথায় তোমারই তো পাওয়া ভাষা। রক্তের স্রোতে জানি তুমি খরতোয়া, ঊর্মিল জলে পেতেছি আসনপিঁড়ি, থৈথৈ করে আমার ঘাটের সিঁড়ি, কখনো-বা পলিচড়া-ই তোমার দোয়া। তোমারই তো গান মহাজনী মাল্লার, কখনো পান্সী-মাঝি গায় ভাটিয়ালি, কখনো মৌন ব্যস্তের পাল্লায়, কখনো-বা শুধু তক্তাই ভাসে খালি। কত ডিঙি ভাঙো, যাও কত বন্দর, কত কী যে আনো, দেখো কত বিকিকিনি, তোমার চলায় ভাসাও, স্রোতস্বিনী,”
