He seizes and stays in His worshippers’ minds.

Excerpt

What is there that God loves more than worshippers? Nothing else in the three worlds. He loves not Vaikuntha nor the sea of milk; He seizes and stays in His worshippers’ minds. With all His heart He finds them altogether sweet; He accepts from them a tulsi-leaf with fond delight.

✨ To meditate on today

According to Tukaram, the poet-saint of Maharashtra, nothing is dearer to God than those who love Him: He prefers the hearts of His devotees to Vaikuntha, His paradise, and He receives with fond delight the humblest offering, a single leaf of tulsi, the sacred basil of India. Today, offer a small gesture made with all your heart, a flower, a kind word or a quiet service, without worrying about its size.
