Gurudev, how does one act with devotion? I think I act with the desire for a particular result, how do I change that?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

Take it for granted that you have devotion. Put aside all these words -- should and must; just be natural and spontaneous.

You are already on the path. When you are on the path, devotion is ingrained in you.
Love is your nature, you can never be out of it. Devotion is nothing but exalted love or love in its true form, and it is there in you. If you think you don't have it and keep trying to have it, it is not going to happen. You are unnecessarily putting yourself through hardship. It is already there! It is like saying, ‘I want to go home’ when you are already inside the house! My dear, wake up and see, you are hallucinating. You are home, relax!’
