Devotion is an attitude of being. It’s a way of leaning in and being oriented toward the expression of wholeness. ~ Mukti, from this month’s complimentary download, “Orienting to Devotion.”
Open Gate Sangha welcomes you to this issue of our quarterly newsletter, which highlights teachings and downloads on the subject of “Devotion to Truth.” It also features Mukti’s 5-Night Silent Retreat at Garrison Institute in New York, which is still open for registration. Additionally, you can read about upcoming broadcasts, new products, a recent interview with Mukti, and a newly released podcast episode with Loch Kelly and Adyashanti: “Living from Awakening ~ Part 2.” Enjoy!

Devotion is an offering of time, energy, and attention that requires one to give and even to pour out. And while the extended hand is giving, so to speak, it cannot grasp. Grasping arises from a sense of egoic self that is based in lack. True devotion is never founded in lack and therefore has the power to deliver one beyond the strictures of ego-identification . . .

“This retreat will delve into the heart of our existence as life Itself. I'll be pointing participants to their essential Self, prior to personal identities, roles, history, or future, and will be nurturing a remembrance of Self-nature—free of definitions and divisions.” ~ Mukti

Mukti explores how gathering our attention and placing it upon an object of devotion can lead us from egoic and dualistic states of consciousness to perceiving an interconnectedness with all beings. This union with an object of devotion can open us to the divine, to truth, and to wholeness and can allow us to embrace “what is” with a unifying perspective. | |
