What Is The Nature Of True Devotion, And How Can One Attain A Pure And Selfless Love For The Divine?
The meaning of devotion is that you immerse yourself completely in that thing which is permanent here.
What is the nature of true devotion, and how can one attain a pure and selfless love for the divine?
What does true devotion mean? How can we immerse ourselves in this true devotion and how can devotion be seen from the standpoint of our respective religions? If we hold onto certain beliefs and view things based on them, then that isn't devotion. True devotion occurs when the essence of devotion is separate from beliefs, and nothing exists that cannot be denied. Now let me tell you, does this nature speak to you? Like how you break people's beliefs based on your beliefs, it seems as if you can't breathe if you're insulted. But that's not the case, right? So, we must understand what devotion really means.
Devotion means surrendering oneself completely to something. This can only happen when you become free from everything else first, free from desires, free from the sense of self, and free from all fears. Only then can you immerse yourself in devotion. Becoming rich comes first, right? Until there's money, until your stomach is empty, you can only see money. So, first, free yourself from these things, then you can understand it from within. Devotion means trying to understand your inner self, trying to understand who you really are, where you come from. The easiest way to do this is to connect with nature.
Let me explain this on a scientific level because what you believe now, that science is separate from devotion, is incorrect. Science itself is a form of devotion if you look at it closely because science clearly explains how devotion works, like the energy in your body, which is made up of the same form of energy that makes up this atmosphere. So, what's the difference between you and this nature? Nothing, right? We are all part of nature.
Look, everything is fundamentally changing here. If you look at it with your own eyes, you'll see that everything is changing, just like time is passing. If we look at history, when this Earth was formed, everything was changing. So, everything is constantly changing. Everything that you see here, like a tree, is not actually a tree, it's you, and you're the tree. You need a different perspective to see this, which is why I said you need to free yourself from everything first. All kinds of desires and fears, free yourself from them, then try to understand this thing. If you're not free from these things now, don't read this blog because it will confuse you. Don't stay here, go there, so first free yourself from money, then come back and read this blog.
Devotion means how deeply you can immerse yourself in this nature. You've already immersed yourself. You need to believe in every belief first, you need to completely leave yourself open. This nature will only work within you when you do this. When you start to understand slowly that you are part of this nature, only then will you start to give it energy. Then, you won't control yourself, this energy will control you. I'm talking about a certain level of energy, trying to touch another layer of depth, trying to understand the depth.
See, there's one thing happening here, everything is fundamentally changing. If you see changes, they're also happening like this. Everything is passing by as if it's from one time to another. If we look at history, when this Earth was formed, everything was changing. So, everything is constantly changing. Only one thing is permanent, what is that? Let's try to understand this a little more, leave your mind completely open, what does it mean to leave it completely open? It means, right now, like nothing, you have your own intelligence, you understand, right? See, what is a thought in our minds, what is it? Let's try to understand what a thought is, a thought means, what are we saying to ourselves inside? If we separate our body, separate our thoughts, and completely separate ourselves, then what will be left? What will be left is what is permanent. I don't know if you can see this with me or not, whether you can understand it or not, but I'm trying my best. When your body and your mind are separated from you, then something remains here. That's what snatches, what is something stable, which is connecting us to this whole universe, what is it? Everything is interconnected, connected at that level, and that energy, when you unlock it completely, when people completely immerse themselves in this nature, then that energy is unlocked in no time. Just stop for 2 minutes and let yourself be attracted to this nature without any thoughts coming to your mind. Thoughts will come, but don't pay attention to them, they'll disappear. Just observe this nature, try to bring yourself closer to it, and the more you can, the more you'll understand yourself. What am I talking about?
Then, that energy will work in you as it's working in me right now. Right now, I'm not making any effort, everything is happening on its own, everything is happening on its own. This means that my intelligence has grown so much that everything is clear to me. It's clear to me that there's no hard and fast rule in this. Whatever you try to understand will become clear. Everything is clear, just stop and see if what you're seeing is basically you because what you're made of, the same energy form that you're made of, everything in this nature is made of, so you're no different from nature.
