IT is good to love God for hope of reward, but it is better to love God for loves sake and the prayer goes O Lord, I do not want wealth nor children nor learning. If it be Thy will, I shall go from birth to birth. But grant me this, that I may love thee without the hope of reward - love unselfishly for loves sake.
Swami Vivekananda
My nature is love Him. And therefore I love. I do not pray for any-thing. I do not ask for anything. Let Him place me wherever He likes. I must love Him for loves sake. I can not trade in love.
Swami Vivekananda
