Great devotees knew the secret of spiritual surrender. Their worship was not tainted by any bargaining spirit. For those who bargain and crave for profit, reverence is equated with returns. They sell homage at so much per unit of satisfactory response. They are like paid servants, clamoring for wages, overtime allowance, bonus, etc. They calculate how much they are able to extract for the service rendered. Be on the other hand, a member of the family, a kinsman, a friend.  Feel that you are the Lord's own. Then, work will not tire. It will be done much better. It will yield more satisfaction. And what about the wages? The Master will maintain you in bliss!

- Divine Discourse,  June 16, 1977.

Do not give room for anger or hatred.  Seek only the good in every one. - Baba
