Isn't devotion merely a kind of imagination or dreaming?

definition
"Devotion may appear as dreaming to the intellect, but in the heart's language, it is the truest reality that can lead you to God. Choose the path that awakens your heart, for it is in love and poetry that the divine reveals itself."
According to Osho, devotion only looks like dreaming when judged by the intellect; in the heart’s language of love and poetry it is the truest reality. Dream/imagination is a spiritual power that can lead to God, just as logic leads to science. Choose your path: if devotion awakens your heart, trust it; otherwise, follow knowledge and meditation.
Devotion isn’t pretend—it’s the heart’s way of knowing truth, like a loving dream that can guide you to the divine.
Why this matters practically
- Choose the path that fits you—devotion if your heart blossoms, knowledge/meditation if your head does.
- Treat imagination as a sacred tool; use loving images, song, and remembrance to deepen connection.
- Avoid lifeless rationalism; let devotion bring joy, celebration, and meaning into daily life.
