What is your goal, Mr. Tolev?
I have no goal; I have Devotion. Because when the goal is accomplished, I have to set myself another task – Devotion cannot come to an end. And I have made a great distinction between serving and Devotion. Officials serve, the army serves, a subordinate serves. Devotion is boundlessness.
A goal imposes limitations; Devotion unfolds.
Devotion cannot be performed with Oneself. And then comes the greatest idea – freedom from Oneself. Freedom from Oneself – for the sake of OneSelf.
The secret of Devotion is freedom from selfishness!
