Summary

This quote suggests that spiritual growth happens through the process of letting go rather than accumulating. By eliminating obstacles, such as ego-driven desires and illusions, one can experience spiritual evolution. Devotion plays a significant role in this process as it allows the surrender of the mind's attachments and illusions, leading it to become more liberated and receptive to the truth. In essence, this quote highlights the idea that spiritual progress comes from releasing what holds us back, allowing us to become more attuned to the essence of our being.
