Through Selfless Work, Love Of God Grows

Great Men Have The Nature Of A Child.

The Young Bamboo Can Be Easily Bent, But The Full Grown Bamboo Breaks When It Is Bent With Force. It Is Easy To Bend The Young Heart Towards God, But The Untrained Heart Of The Old Escapes The Hold Whenever It Is So Drawn.

If You Keep Your Heart Immersed Always In The Depth Of That Holy Love, Your Heart Is Sure To Remain Ever Full To Overflowing With The Divine Fervour Of Sacred Love.

As A Boy Holding To A Post Or A Pillar Whirls About It With Headlong Speed Without Any Fear Or Falling, So Perform Your Worldly Duties, Fixing Your Hold Firmly Upon God, And You Will Be Free From Danger.

As A Toy Fruit Or A Toy Elephant Reminds One Of The Real Fruit And The Living Animal, So Do The Images That Are Worshipped Remind One Of The God Who Is Formless And Eternal.
