Devotion (Bhakti) is adoration, affection, allegiance, enthusiasm, passion, reverence, sincerity, dedication, deference, service, love, and honor; and is best expressed in heart felt experiences. In a spiritual journey, it is critical to find something larger than the self (I, ego, small me) toward which to express devotion. Devotion must be found with discernment due to the tendency of the human Ego to project the darker and lighter versions of self onto others.
