ANDAL

Let Your Devotion Find Expression in Hard Work

In this way, both Alwar and Andal set the example of showing devotion to God through hard work. And not only that. They nursed the garden with their unceasing care and hard work. They never forgot that every flower grown in the garden would be offered to God. They looked after every plant and flower as if they were children. And they offered the flowers of these plants to God with devotion.

How many have attained God by hard manual labor? 'God Likes hard labor which is the highway to Vaikunta (God's Place)' - Alwar and Andal exemplified this lesson in their lives.
