“Mysticism

without

DEVOTION

is like

uncooked food;

it can never be assimilated.

The essence of

SPIRITUALITY

is readiness to serve

the person

next to us.”

—Hazrat Inayat Khan

Devotion is a

solemn promise

to dedicate oneself to

that which is greater

than ourselves.

“DEVOTION"

is a vote

FOR THE

SOUL

OF THE

WORLD

to have a seat

among us.

DEVOTION

is the

humble acknowledgement

that humans possess

a kind of hunger

fed only by

SPIRIT,

and that the

world of Spirit

is in turn fed by human devotion.

BELOVED

is where we

renew our vows

to

AWE

“We consider love to be a relationship.

We consider love to be a feeling that takes place between two people.

Love is not a relationship.

Love is the dissolution of relationship, it is the collapse of relationship.

It is not possible to love another person. In the experience of love, the self and the other dissolve.

That's why Rumi said this beautiful thing:

TRUE LOVERS

never

REALLY MEET.

They're in each other

all along.

—Rumi

“Love is not a meeting of two people.

It is the dissolution of the apparent separation between self and other and a revelation of the prior unity of these two apparently separate selves.

So love is not an experience that the separate self has, it is the dissolution of the separate self, the revelation of reality, the revelation of consciousness.

Consciousness is love.”

—Rupert Spira
