"Duty without love is deplorable. Duty with love is desirable. Love without duty is Divine. Duty implies force or compulsion while love is spontaneous and expresses itself without external promptings. All the japa (recitation), dhyana (meditation) and the deeds of merit you perform will be futile if you do not cultivate universal and selfless love."
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
(Summer Showers in Brindavan 1979, Ch. 29)
