So, friends, every day do something that won't compute...Give your approval to all you cannot understand...Ask the questions that have no answers.

Limited love is immediately bound by something- by constant desires or constant demands. But when it is unlimited love, constant love, then gratitude comes to the fore. This love becomes all gratitude. Sri Chinmoy
