“I was reading in the library from a book about Sri Ramakrishna, and I stumbled upon a story about a seeker who once came to see the great master and admitted to him that she feared she was not a good enough devotee, feared that she did not love God enough. And the saint said, ‘Is there nothing you love?’ The woman admitted that she adored her young nephew more than anything on earth. The saint said, ‘There, then. He is your Krishna, your beloved. In your service to your nephew, you are serving God.’ ”
