God first and then the world. The purpose of life is to know God. Attain knowledge and devotion and then serve God in mankind. Work is not the end of life. Disinterested work is a means of attaining devotion. Keep at least three-fourths of your mind in God. It is enough if you give one-fourth to service.
Swami Brahmananda, Spiritual son of Sri Ramakrishna
Smiling Buddha, 2016
