The end of culture is perfection
The end of knowledge is love
The end of education is character.
(SSB 1972, p. 3)
The end of everything that is born is death; Samyoga leads to Viyoga; construction must result in destruction of that which is constructed. It is the law of nature that birth ends in death and death leads to birth. The state which knows no coming and going is the stage when the Universal Brahman is visualised. (GV, p. 167)
Prema is filial piety when directed towards the parents, companionship, when it flows towards friends, love when it is felt towards the partner, respect when it moves one towards elders and affection when you are drawn towards children. Bhakti affects your acts in three forms: you do some acts consciously in order to demonstrate your love or to give vent to the Prema that animates you: you do acts as dedicated offerings to enhance the glory of the Lord. In a spirit of worshipful humility, as if you are laying at His feet all that you are and all that you are capable of: and you do acts which are full of Prema towards all as part of your mere existence, automatically, without any tinge of self or whiff of violence upsetting the performance of the act. The dedicated act leads on to all activity being dedication; the ananda makes you feel that your effort has been worthwhile. That is the end, the aim, the inspiration.
