The source of religious preoccupation is in the self, or rather the rejection of the self. Dedication is the obverse side of self-rejection.

It is because His sufferings, His death and cross, were the fulness of His victory over all the works of the devil. Not an evil in flesh and blood, not a misery of life, not a chain of death, not a power of hell and darkness, but were all baffled, broken, and overcome by the process of a suffering and dying Christ. Well, therefore, may the cross of Christ be the glory of Christians!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spread love everywhere you go: First of all in your own house... let no one ever come to you without ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23721]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spread love everywhere you go: First of all in your own house... let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.
