You will always find very many who do not obey. They are just devoted. They worship, but they do not obey. Is this clear? Obedience is more important than devotion, even if it is done unwillingly. It counts for a great deal, because afterward, in the process, duality vanishes, and responsibility falls upon one person – the Master, the one you obey. If he tells you to get up, you must. If he calls you, you must go.
Love is even higher than obedience. In real love – not ordinary love – love, obedience and devotion are inherent. Such love gives life, body, soul – all to the beloved. This love is higher than both obedience and devotion. The next step to this love is union.
Therefore, love. Give more love, and more and more love.
Big hearts always give, and give in. Small hearts take, and take in.”
