Prem PrakashWhat is important is not the specific manner in which God is worshiped but the degree to which the devotee is filled with love. (48-49)
About This Quote
Albert Schweitzer said, "What is important is not the specific manner in which God is worshiped but the degree to which the devotee is filled with love." He was saying that even if a person worships in a way that seems wrong, that still isn't the end of the world. It is how much love that person has that matters most, not how they worship or what they do. How people worship God is not important but what they do with their lives while they are living on Earth is what matters.
