Love will be rewarded a thousand-fold
Once you have placed an ideal before you or set a goal, stick to it through gain and loss. It is not for nothing that the songs goes: Whatever you hold, once you have held it Hold on to it, till you win. Whatever you've asked, once you have asked it Ask aloud for it, till you win. Whatever you wish, once you have wished it Wish deeper for it, till you win. Whatever you've planned, once you have planned it Plan firmer for it, till you win. He must grant the victory to stop the wail - Wail, weep and pray, till you win. Beware ! Don't lose heart and lag behind in effort. , the of , said, "I will not permit my feet to swerve from the path; I will not leave You without being, assured of fearlessness." There are two ways of accosting God. One is in the manner of the beginner, of the devotee who is still in the elementary stage. He rhapsodizes, "Lord! You are the embodiment of mercy, you are (embodiment of divine bliss), you are All-powerful," and hopes thereby to win God's Grace. But the dearer the devotee holds God, the more this distance disappears. It is just as when an acquaintance visits you, you welcome him with a hand shake and smiles which are largely artificial. But when an old friend drops in, you receive him with an informal hello and show him a seat with a twinkle in your eye and warmth in your heart. In the flood of formal praise, love is mostly absent. As it happens, in dealing with the personal God, love is the preeminent requisite.Therefore have faith, have patience and do acts of love and service. Love will be rewarded with Love a thousand-fold.
