INSIGHT

Devotion Is Beyond Love And Morality

  • Devotion is distinct from love and lies beyond right and wrong as a constant state of being.
  • Sadhguru compares devotion to a tree's root that stays fully on regardless of seasonal changes.

Be Constant Like The Root

  • A devotee is always 'full' like a root that continually nourishes the tree irrespective of surface changes.
  • This permanence makes devotion a different, deeper intelligence than fluctuating emotional states.
