What is the difference between desire and longing? Desire is the fever of the head. Longing is the cry of the heart.
Organization is control. Devotion is chaos.
Organization needs attention to details, a material awareness. Organization is being worldly. Devotion is getting lost, forgetting the world, being in ecstasy.
Organization and devotion are opposite in nature. They do not go together, yet they cannot be apart or exist without each other. No organization can arise without devotion. When you have so much devotion, you want to organize. Devotion brings faith, compassion and responsibility and a desire to share knowledge, wisdom and love. That is when organization happens.
Organization exists through devotion. If you are devoted, you will not simply sit. The nature of devotion is to give. If you think you are devoted and you are not caring for the world, then you are merely selfish. Real devotion means being one with the Divine, and the Divine cares for the world.
You often lose devotion in organizing. And often, in the name of devotion, you create chaos or disregard the organization. You have to be a saint to be both in devotion and organization. With both, you are on the mark. So get lost, and be guided.
