We regard as devotion a few minutes devoted for worship or going to sacred shrines. But true devotion is an expression of gratitude to God for all that He has given to us, the human body with its various capacities, the intelligence we are endowed with and the many natural amenities made available to us such as air, water, and sunlight. A person without gratitude is worse than an animal.
