The
tongue may utter the Name of the Lord, the ear may be open when the
glory of God is recited and the hand may shower flowers on the image of
God -- all this is of no avail, if carried out mechanically, bereft of
yearning within.
Reading scriptures or performing worship without
relishing the sweetness is equivalent to being like the spoon which dips
into sour and sweet with equal alacrity and insensitivity. The spoon
does not refuse or relish any taste.
True joy can be felt only when the
heart of the devotee is aware of the Supreme; when the mind is thrilled
with the recollections of the glory of God or the study of the
scriptures.
-- Bhagawan Baba
