4900. If you love God
If you do not love GodAnd do not want to love God,
Yet want to do something for God,
Then your unsolicited help
Is nothing but presumptuous.
If you love God
And want to love God,
And therefore want to serve God,
Then your soulful service
Is more precious to God
Than you can ever imagine.
Sri Chinmoy, Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, part 49, Agni Press, 1982
