What is devotion?
I think, devotion is the state of being so committed to something that you will give up anything else to achieve it. For example, a person who is devoted to their job would be willing to move away from all their friends and family if their job called for it. In another example, a person who is devoted to their children would give up their social lives, their money, etc. to take care of their children.
"The mind is a wonderful servant but a terrible master."
I believe spiritual freedom (a.k.a. self-discipline) manifests as bravery, confidence, grace, honesty, love, and inner peace.
