Through Selfless Work, Love Of God Grows

It Is On Account Of The Ego That One Is Not Able To See God. In Front Of The Door Of God's Mansion Lies The Stump Of Ego. One Cannot Enter The Mansion Without Jumping Over The Stump.

To Work Without Attachment Is To Work Without The Expectation Of Reward Or Fear Of Any Punishment In This World Or The Next. Work So Done Is A Means To The End, And God Is The End.

A Bath In Ganges Undoubtedly Absolves One Of All Sins; But What Does That Avail? They Say That The Sins Perch On Trees Along The Banks Of The Ganges. No Sooner Does The Man Come Back From The Holy Waters That The Old Sins Jump On His Shoulders From The Trees. The Same Old Sins Take Possession Of Him Again. He Is Hardly Out Of The Waters Before They Fall Upon Him.

There Are Three Kinds Of Love; Unselfish, Mutual, And Selfish. The Unselfish Love Is Of The Highest Kind; The Lover Only Minds The Welfare Of The Beloved And Does Not Care For His Own Sufferings. In Mutual Love The Lover Not Only Wants The Happiness Of His Beloved; But Has An Eye Towards His Own Happiness Also. It Is Middling. The Selfish Love Is The Lowest. It Only Looks Towards Its Own Happiness, No Matter Whether The Beloved Suffers Weal Or Woe.

The Compassion That You See In The Kindhearted Is God's Compassion. He Has Given It To Them To Protect The Helpless.
