Oh external worshiper, know that worship without heart is motions. Oh seeker of knowledge, know that knowledge without purification is a dangerous weapon of the ego. Oh activist, know that work without orientation of heart is fruitless. Oh lover, know that love without God is pain.

About This Quote

This quote means that you should love God with all your heart and soul, not just thinking about him. If you know God, you will know how to find the truth, if you don’t you will never know the truth. When you are doing something, do it with all your heart and soul, that’s why it is called work. And lastly, if you love God with all of your heart, without knowing how to find the truth, without knowing how to work or if you are doing it with no heart at all…it is pain.
