Re: -What would it mean to you to be devoted?
-What is your idea of devotion?
-What do you imagine yourself being devoted to?
-What do you think devotion feels like?

These are the highlights from what you wrote...pertaining to the questions

-this mind-body is a vehicle for Brahman to experience Itself
-I am serving that purpose of Maya, but this is devotion to the abstract and unknowable
but in one way of thinking it's serving the very purpose of existence because it's done so consciously.
- even better add in a meditation on a personal God. -- that would be Jesus

Jnana is mind-based
Bhakti is heart-based.
Raja is introverted
Karma is extroverted
-my approach is to have them all in the mix...

I will look at this with coffee in the morning.
Had to pare it down first.
But, ---Do you think of God as abstract and unknowable ---just wondering?
You didn't say that, but am asking. If God is real to you --'a personal God'...how would you be devoted to a human - spouse, mom or, say, a job?
Just something to think on. Ha, or comment on at 4 am.
Also, would you agree devotion is giving attention to something; a form of love?

Anyhoo, I'll be back. We ran out of time....that's a therapy joke.
