Devotion is not a mental weakness. Neither is it only the first step, but something like the substratum for attaining the goal.
The mind always has expectations. In order to experience pure consciousness, this nature of the mind must disappear.
By letting the mind expand in the sound of divine chanting (such as devotional music), each one can enjoy the peace born of one's inherent divinity.
True laughter comes from the heart. Only with an innocent heart can we experience real joy and give joy to others.
