óWork for a great idea, and you arouse great ideas in your own mindówhen you work simply for yourself, or for your own personal gain, your mind will seldom rise above the limitations of an undeveloped personal life. But when you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world.ó

óFrom Karma Yoga: Creative Work, by Edmond Szekely, co-founder Rancho La Puerta.
