<p>Devotion means longing for the Supreme.  Now the question arises, is devotion natural or unnatural for living beings?  </p>
<p>All the conscious or crude things we see in the manifested universe bear attraction for one another, and as a consequence, the continuity of the thought-projection of the Cosmic Mind is maintained.  It is on account of the mutual attraction of myriads of heavenly bodies oscillating in the infinite space that balance is maintained in the firmament.</p>

<p>Now what is devotion? Leaving all the relative things, when the mind moves toward the Absolute, that alone is known as Devotion.  When the mind moves toward the Supreme Soul, the nearer it comes to Him, there is an unknowing change in it.  The caterpillar does not know when it becomes a butterfly.  </p>
<p>The mind does not know how changes occur in it.  Thus, one day it sees that it is no longer an individual being and hence the individualistic feeling disappears. When the mind is free from individualistic feelings, that alone is the Supreme State. </p>
