Devotion andthe Spiritual Life.^89
is the meaning of devotion. That, however
feeblyphrased-andallwordsarefeeble-that
istheinnerlifeofthosewholove,whorecognise
thatlifeisonlymeantforservice,whorecognise
that the only thing that makes life worthy is
thatitshall beburnt inthelireof devotion,in
order that theworld maybe lighted andmay
bewarmed. That isthegoalwhichends, not
in liberation,butinperfectservice. Liberation
only when all Souls are liberated, when all
together enter into the bliss unspeakable, and
which,when that periodofblissisover,brings
them out again as conscious co-workers with
unbrokenmemoryinthehigherspiritualregions;
for theyhave won their right to be conscious
workersforeverinallfutureManvantaras; for
the Life of Love never gives liberation from
