The Devotion Inventory

Mirabai devoted her entire life to Krishna, and her choices reflected that. She did not say she loved Krishna while living for family approval. In relationships, infidelity often reveals a gap between declared devotion and actual allegiance. The Devotion Inventory asks each partner: Where do I actually put my time, attention, energy, and vulnerability? Is it with my partner, with myself, with others, with distraction? Do my actions match my words about what I'm devoted to? This is not about guilt but clarity. Someone may discover they are more devoted to avoiding conflict than to their partnership, or more devoted to an imagined future than to their actual present, or more devoted to being wanted than to mutual growth. Once named, this inventory becomes actionable. You cannot recommit to a devotion you have not clearly chosen. By examining what we are actually devoted to, we can either consciously recommit to the partnership with full knowledge, or we can acknowledge that a different devotion calls us and act with integrity. Mirabai's life was a testimony to the power of aligned devotion; infidelity often signals that devotion has fractured.
