I have overcome the infatuation of the self, and I have learned selfless service. These two lead me inwards to the true self within, where bliss abounds.<\/p>\n<p>This love, when expressed of God, is true devotion. When the purpose of my existence is transformed to serve humanity (for that is what is to serve God), I will find the divine in every soul. That service will keep me forever joined to Self (which is another name for God) for those who have drunk at that fountain will not be able to step away for even a moment.
