OUR BEST WORK IS DONE, OUR GREATEST INFLUENCE IS EXERTED, WHEN WE ARE WITHOUT THOUGHT OF SELF


Our best work is done, our greatest influence is exerted, when we are without thought of self. All great geniuses know this. Let us open ourselves to the one Divine Actor, and let Him act, and do nothing ourselves. "O Arjuna! I have no duty in the whole world", says Krishna. Be perfectly resigned, perfectly unconcerned; then alone can you do any true work.
