A mother feels intensely for her child. She takes all its likes and dislikes into consideration and prepares various dishes accordingly with great care and attention, thinking of her child all the time. No one forces her to think of the child; neither can anyone divert her thoughts from the child. At the same time she does not neglect her duties, but as she works, the force of her love keeps the thought of her child uninterruptedly in her mind.
The chef in a hotel restaurant also cooks, but out of a sense of contractual duty. He forces his mind to concentrate and hurries through the cooking. Out of the two, whose work will be more efficient? The work done out of love will be. When you channel this love toward the higher power, whatever you do is done for the sake and delight of the Divine. Out of love for the Divine, you perform your acts with commitment.
