Your devotion keeps you moving forward. All you have to do, believe it or not, is keep yourself centered toward the Light consciousness. It's easy.

Jesus manifested his connection to Spirit and God more fully than other people did then or do now. His awareness of being the Son of God, his knowledge of his Father's work, the purity with which he lived, and his integrity and ability to demonstrate pure, unconditional loving under any circumstances make him - to say the least - quite special.

You have probably heard, "Ask and you shall receive." When you ask, in your heart, for your will to be aligned with Spirit, that can come to pass. Be patient and loving with yourself and with others, and you are well on your way to living according to God's will.

Experience the devotion to yourself that allows you to take care of yourself.

Through Baraka, divine essence, we are one, and all is shared now. We say together, "Father, Mother, God, I am so happy for my knowledge of you. I will use my awareness for Thy glory alone because I am your instrument. Whatever I do, I do in your name. I do all things in God's name, with the inner Master to work with me and guide me."

Divine love is not possessive. We express our devotion as "I love you," or "God Bless you," and life begins unfolding. We are not even in an area of discipline anymore; we have bypassed it. We enter the area of divine service and we are part of those who have learned to live in freedom.

The word "Darshan" refers to seeing and beholding the Holy Presence. It refers to looking within to receive the presence of the master. So Darshan is an intention in a process of worship. It doesn't necessarily have to do with what or who is present physically as much as it is your intention to see the divine.

Your devotion to God can transcend all situations and become the constant factor of your life. Then you follow one Light, the Light which is God. It's been called many names and worshipped in many ways, but everyone is reaching to this one consciousness.

From the spiritual heart, devotion to a teacher may be a positive, uplifting action for you. If the loving expressed is one of emotionality, however, there can be a trap with that. If you so emotionally adore and love your teacher, what happens when the teacher dies? You may be stuck in the causal realm with all your emotions. Spirit's way is to emphasize the teachings, not the teacher. I suggest the most effective way you can demonstrate love and devotion for your teacher is to exemplify the teachings.

Is there anything that you really would not do to see God? When you know what you want above all, everything is on the table. Everything is up. Whatever I have to give, I will give for what that is, because it is worth it all.
