Using sustained love and devotion as a practice to ground oneself amid civilizational collapse, drawing on Mirabai's unwavering devotion to Krishna despite social exile.
Mirabai's radical devotion persisted through social ostracism, familial rejection, and institutional hostility—yet her love deepened rather than fractured. For anticipatory grief, devotion becomes a counterweight to despair: a disciplined turning of attention toward what endures. This is not denial of collapse, but active tethering to meaning beyond institutional collapse. When civilizations crumble, devotion to truth, beauty, or transcendence provides a stable point around which to organize consciousness. Mirabai teaches that devotion survives everything because it depends not on external validation but on the examined heart's own capacity to love. In facing civilizational loss, this practice asks: what am I devoted to that transcends the systems now failing? This reorientation prevents both numbing and despair.
