Paragraph 124

In plain words

"But the more devotion and love for Him you have, the less your work will become. When a young wife of the house is carrying a child, the mother-in-law lightens her duties. The more the months advance, the less work the mother-in-law gives her. In the tenth month she lets her do no work at all, lest some harm come to the child or something go wrong at the birth." There was laughter. "The works you are doing benefit yourself. If you can work without desire, your heart will be purified and love of God will come to you. And once love comes, you will be able to reach Him. Man does no good to the world; He alone does it: He who made the sun and moon, He who is the love of father and mother, the compassion in the great, and the devotion in holy men and devotees. Whoever works without desire will do good to himself."
