Mission prior to full devotion?

[devaloka]

Is it possible one can have a mission to fullfill before one can or should fully devote oneself to Dhamma?

Like in this life I need to have experienced and understood such and so before Im ready for full devotion? As in worldy affairs and worldly growth?

What if the mission requires unwholesome or unskillfull actions?

How does one know if a sense of mission is valid and should be addressed prior or the sense is a mere hindrance of doubt and craving?

thank you

What you need before Saddha (faith or devotion) is the experience of suffering.
Once you know that existence is suffering and we all striving for liberation you will look for a genuine liberation.

“Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument. The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purpose through him.”
