Srimad Bhagavatam
Blessed indeed is the birth, glorious
indeed is the act, true indeed is the life, luminous indeed is that mind, and
fruitful indeed is that word, which is consecrated to the loving service of god
who is the self of this universe.
Man’s birth is indeed in vain if it
is not dedicated to the service of the lord.
Unconditional love for god, total surrender
to him and unquestioned servitude to the lord are the essence of all Vedas.
If one does not have unconditional
love for god in his heart, all his deeds are in vain.
Of all the things that exist the self
is the dearest.
The lord of love is our self.
So who else can be dearer than him?
Just like water poured on the roots
of a tree nourishes the whole tree, similarly unconditional love for god fills
the whole world with bliss.
So, one should worship god within one’s
heart.
God is supreme the lord of the universe.
Love and charity towards all beings,
contentment under all circumstances, and control of all senses and passions
leads one to god.
The lord is forever manifest in the pure heart of his devotees.
On should unite his/her heart, mind
and soul to the lord and thus achieve unity with him.
