On the spiritual path we learn to discern the usefulness of a desire and renounce any that are contrary to our purpose of living a healthy, conscious, God-centered life.

Everything done with selfish motive has failure built into it. And even the smallest act done with a pure heart, with love of God, blossoms, bears fruit, and becomes nourishment for all.
