Devotion feelings are pure ones

consisting of sweetness and innocence

They are feelings of faith, in God

But they can be shaken

Faith, without some wisdom to back it up,

may fail you in a moment of need

Both are needed

for long-term spiritual attainment:

Like feeling close to God and close to others, too

in an unshakable way

Or having true feelings, no matter what;

Becoming spiritually accomplished

If either faith or wisdom is lacking

your life cannot function right

It's like understanding your doctor's prescription

but somehow not trusting it anyway

It leaves you feeling unsure

So have a dialogue between your feelings and your understanding

They need to know each other, and work together, well!
