"To love someone whom you like is insignificant. To love someone because they love you is of no consequence To love someone whom you do not like means you have learned a lesson in life. To love someone who blames you for no reason shows that you have learned the art of living..." ----- His Holiness Sri Sri Ravishankarji

Organization And Devotion
Organization And Devotion
Organization is control. Devotion is chaos!
Organization needs attention to details, a material awareness.
Organization is being worldly.
Devotion is getting lost, forgetting the world, being in ecstasy.
These are opposite in nature. They don't go together, yet they cannot
be apart or exist without each other. No organization can arise without
devotion. When there is so much devotion, you simply want to organize.
Devotion brings faith, compassion, and responsibility. With responsibility
and caring, you want to give knowledge, wisdom, and love. Then
organization happens. So organization exists through devotion.
If you are devoted, you won't just sit. The nature of devotion is to
give. If you think you are devoted and you are not caring for the world,
then you are merely selfish. Real devotion means being one with the
Divine, and the Divine cares for the world.
Often you lose devotion in organizing. And often in the name of
devotion you create chaos and disregard the organization. You have to be a
saint to be both in organization and devotion. If you have both, you are
on the mark. So . . .
Get lost and be guided!
