God can be realized only through love. Your devotion must be such that God seeks you. Like a child crying ceaselessly till the mother rushes to pacify it, like a calf calling for its mother-cow, like a forlorn wife praying for the return of her husband, the devotee should feel the yearning for His coming. Bhajans and japas (chanting His name) do not constitute Bhakti (devotion). You must yearn for the love of the Lord. [To the students] Along with your studies, cultivate devotion and spiritual discipline. Spirituality is the summum bonum of education.

- Divine Discourse, June 25, 1989.

The end of education is character. - Baba
