The devotee engages to the best of his ability into the play of life, fulfilling his role on this earth as student, employee, husband, wife, parent, neighbor, and community servant. But at the heart of the devotee is a burning desire for the Lord.
Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution, experience life’s deepest joy: true fulfilment.
