Dedication & devotion... Both words are indicative of a certain state of mind, a certain inner position you come from. When you act from either of these positions, such action is selfless, is fulfilling in itself irrespective of the short term results it may produce. Your life finds its meaning in what you dedicate or devote yourself to.
But then where is the difference?
Consider a doctor going to a temple, to offer his services in a free medical camp being conducted there. His devotion to the Lord, takes him to the temple. His dedication to his profession determines the degree to which he stretches himself when caring for his patients. He is devoted to the Lord, dedicated to his profession.
You are dedicated to a purpose. Mother Tersa dedicated her life to care for the dying. She was a devout christian.
You stand before the Almighty in devotion. Meera lived her life in devotion to
Devotion has a religious connotatio n.
Beyond a point it is semantics. word is just a pointer.. a sign-post.. you can use it to give direction to your thought. How far u think in that direction, determines the conclusions you come to. Happy thinking !
