Everyone has faith in the power of love. When people ask, "How can we develop our love for the Lord?" The answer is: "There is only one way - to put into practice the love in which you have faith, then that love will grow." Because you do not practice what you profess, your faith gets weakened. A plant will grow only when it is watered regularly. When you plant the seed of love, you can make it grow only by watering it with love every day. The tree of love will grow and yield the fruits of love. Men and women today do not perform those acts which will promote love. When you wish to develop love for the Lord, you must continually practice loving devotion to the Lord. Devotion should flow from the heart, as was the case with the Gopikas. Much of what passes for devotion nowadays is artificial. Develop pure and sincere devotion, and sanctify your lives.
