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.
You say: “He lost his life” or “my life”, as if life were something that you can possess or lose. The truth is: you don’t have a life, you are life.

In the past 50 years, what joy and happiness has been offered by the politicians

live a life of bliss and serenity for at least two hours a day.
-Deep Trivedi
Win as if you were used to it, lose as if you enjoyed it for a change.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
