FOOD FOR THE JIWA

Regional Helper Picks

"...The desire of wanting to do the right thing is the one that is willing to give way; it likes to give, and to worship the One God. That is why sometimes a person will remember and feel the wish to worship God. However, such a wish is very easily overwhelmed by the desires of wanting, arrogance and greed, so that the wish to worship God is weakened."

From Bapak's Talk, Feb 27, 1963 (Perth)
