Our highest welfare.

Hardly anyone thinks of your highest welfare except your spiritual teacher and God. The wise teacher will give you but one instruction: Think of God. And share Him; there is no form of service greater than to speak of God. If you convince someone that the path of error leads to the valley of death, and that the path of meditation leads to everlasting life, you have given him something of more value than a million dollars. Money is perishable, but realization of God will go with us beyond the portals of the grave. Therefore whenever I see anyone striving and struggling with great intensity to know God, it gives me great joy.
