Can I Continue Devotional Practices with This Understanding?

Yesterday, you mentioned letting go of surrender and devotion. I understand, from a non-dual perspective, why we would do that, but I love praying. Rupert says: ‘Surrender and devotion describe the highest state of the separate self. But the ultimate surrender – one step further than surrendering yourself as an individual to God – is to recognise that you are not an individual being apart from God’s being. There is only God’s being, and you are that. If you like to pray and surrender, and you have devotional bhajans that you like singing, it’s absolutely fine to keep doing them . . . as long as your devotional practices and your prayers are informed by this deeper understanding.’
