Nondual inquiry creates its own devotion. You don't need to struggle to foster it or to maintain it. Your own deep desire to know your fundamental Self creates your earnestness.
*****
There is no truth to be found in the concept of awareness.
*****
Sitting around, comparing spiritual experiences (no matter how mystical or transcendent) gets you no where. For no understanding of your basic self comes from such discussions. How could it, given that you remain on the level of experiences rather than penetrating to the source of them?
*****
Truth requires no oaths, ceremonies, commitments, or spiritual names.
*****
You think (and are told) that you need to "become one" with your true self. But you don't. You are already That--which expresses itself as sereneness, spaciousness, and self-shining sheerness. The recognition of this Freedom is the understanding of it. And the understanding of it is the recognition of it. One connotes the other.
*****
The so-called "pain-body" is just another thought. It appears and then disappears. Why give it significance? The only significant thing about it is the presence from which it originates.
*****
When you talk about blissful states, you aren't talking about awareness proper. You are speaking about experiences, nothing more and nothing less. And experiences are on the same level as thought. Both are things of the body/mind. So no matter how grand the thought or experience, you haven't discerned the principle in which concepts and experiences appear and then disappear.
