Devotion Is The Antidote For Delusion

Moving away from you, you wake up to the Oneness, because, you are constantly waiting to wake up for the more, Ultimate! As long as you think that is going to be you, you will be so poor, struggling, suffering. When that hope, more quantity and quality, is on something which is beyond you, your whole bio-memory for more settles down on him. That is what I call "feeling connection", or "love", or "devotion", or "bhakti". Your need for more, and exaggeration, settling down on God or Guru, which is other than you, is "devotion". When it settles down on him, your life becomes so alive, rich; and, because it is away from you, you break the delusion, illusion.

Antidote for delusion is devotion!

Antidote for "maya" is "leela".

Exaggeration is the basic quality with which you function. That getting diverted towards the being who can never be exaggerated is "devotion". That is the only way you wake up, you wake up to the reality! If it is centered on God, you will experience him in deities. If it is centered on Guru, you will experience it living.

Guru is the very easy way to shift. See, how much ever you try, directly shifting your whole exaggeration on God will very difficult; because, you don't know Him; it is not your experience; and you will be going on struggling. To help you get out of that struggle and to support you to experience and raise you, Guru happens. He happens just to give you that shift.

So if you are poor enough not to have a Guru in your life, let all your exaggerations be centered on God. If you are rich enough, luxurious enough to have a Guru, shift everything to him, centre it on him. He will centre it on God. If you shift all your exaggeration towards his statement, statement will shift it towards his state, because, statement and state are finally one and the same!
