There is No Escape from Devotion!
To overcome the false belief that one does not have adoration and love for God, it is important to see that all of God's creation must pertain to and be a manifestation of God. Whatever we are present to with love and gratitude is manifesting that expression of God. In this humorous Q&A exchange, Shunyamurti connects the love and adoration for one's dog to that of God. Though the ego may have things backwards, God's love is always straightforward. What else could it all be?
