When we choose the spiritual life, we most make it real and vibrant.

When we are imbued with the true spirit of consecration,
all our activities are turned into worship.
All tasks before us,
small and big,
become of deep significance.
When our heart is thus filled with
the consciousness of the ever-living
and all-blissful Deity, we no longer feel
the weary weight
of life.
