It means nothing. The mind is anyway full of devotion. Mind is another name for devotion. Itβs just that in absence of discretion, devotion becomes quite blind and mad. The mind is always devoted to something, or is it not? Look at your history, look at this day-to-day. Has there been a single moment when mind was not devoted to something or else? The mind is always devoted. The proof is that mind is always with something, the mind always has an object to be with. So, the mind is devoted. Itβs just that the mind does not know what it really wants; therefore, it gets devoted to all the little and stupid things.
You donβt really need to have a mind with devotion; devotion is there. You need to have discretion. You need to understand what is it that is worthy of your devotion. Not everything deserves your devotion.
At the same time, anything that you get devoted to would ultimately lead you to the Truth, but do you have ten thousand years to live? How many years do you have in your current physical form, in this mortal body? You have some ten, twenty, forty years to live. And if you get devoted to something that will take ten thousand years to take you to the Truth, are you doing yourself a favour? Thatβs the thing that you need to watch out against; βdiscretionβ is the word.
