The question is not very clear, or it is a response to some other discussion hence can not be understood independently.However, since it is talking about devotion, let me try to answer it.To devote is to surrender (give for service) the body, the mind, the intellect as well as "aham". When this is towards and for God, you may call it "bhakti" and the person as "bhakt". But this cannot be temperory. One who is not and never "vibhakt" is called "bhakt" or devotee. For such "bhakt", all that is does is for God, and considers it is done by God, the results (fruits, that is "fal") are also surrendered to God, not because of desperation or of requireemnt, but because he truly loves God.

Devotion is the act of being devoted. Being devoted is being committed to another person or to a cause. If you are sincere, you really mean what you say and appear to be. Therefore sincere devotion is not only looking like you are wholly committed to a person or cause, but are actually as committed as you seem.
The definition of zeal is enthusiastic devotion to a cause, ideal, or goal.
Devotion can be considered a trait as it reflects a strong commitment or dedication to a person, cause, or belief. It involves loyalty, faithfulness, and a willingness to make sacrifices for what one is devoted to.
