Special training is needed to make your devotion an increasing field of service. Some devotees are satisfied in praying and worshipping all day; but in order to make the object of your devotion a means of transformation, you must develop many skills, arts, and even specializations. You must create right channels to bring the beauty, the fire, and the healing properties of the object of your devotion into the world.
Action, labor and dedicated service need various skills, arts, and crafts to bring the object of your devotion into manifestation and make it a regenerative force in the world. Once a devotee told me that he wished he was an attorney to protect a cause that was so important for the public health. Many people wish, but few people try to become qualified to fulfill their wishes. The greater the education and training you have, the greater the devotion you can exercise to reach your goal.
