Devotion is Identical With Love

February 4th, 2008

revised orison (by s e l v i n)

That which makes the mind soft and strong and strenuous, so it may keep itself in a balanced state even in the condition of pain – that which perpetually creates a pleasant feeling within, is called love.

Devotion is identical with love. The moment devotion is aroused, the love of the Supreme comes.

    I believe that love is identical to devotion and if I may add devotion is also an act of love…

    “Once love is aroused and expressed – what else has to be accomplished?” Baba

    Thank you all for your comments.

    @Sharala – do you mean you want to take a screenshot of the website? If so, for sure.
    Or do you mean you want to re-use the photo at the top of this post? The photo was licensed “Creative Commons” when we used it but is now “All Rights Reserved”, meaning that it cannot be reused again without specific permission from the photographer.
