Practicing the same intensity of devotion Mirabai gave to Krishna, but directing it toward your authentic self.
Mirabai's devotion was total—songs, dances, sleepless nights, abandonment of comfort. She could offer this because she knew exactly what she loved. When you grieve a lost identity, you have the opportunity to develop similar devotion to your actual self. This is not narcissism but necessary commitment. Your authentic self has been neglected, suppressed, or misaligned with your public identity. It needs the devotion you once offered to meeting others' expectations. What would full devotion to your truth look like? Regular time alone to listen to yourself? Speaking your actual thoughts even when uncomfortable? Pursuing interests purely because they delight you? Making choices based on your values, not others' approval? Mirabai's intensity gave her bhakti a radiant quality. Your life gains the same radiance when you devote yourself, fully and without apology, to becoming and living as your authentic self. This devotion is the antidote to the grief of lost identity.
