The Sadhana (spiritual practice) of selfless service to better another being’s condition is superior to the Sadhana aimed at one’s own liberation. Worship God in His manifestation as mankind. Every one is a child of God, whatever the colour, caste, creed, and language. This sense of unity has to be fostered. Serving to fellow beings, is indeed worshipping God! You have in you both the talent and the desire to uplift your fellow beings. The country needs your service urgently today. In simple language, persuade fellow-beings to give up habits that undermine their health and peace, and promote in them the qualities of mutual aid, truthfulness and nonviolence! God welcomed the urge to manifest the Cosmos. “Ekoham Bahusyam (I am One; I shall become Many)”, He said to Himself. You must also feel the need to blossom and expand. Derive bliss in the process, possess it and share it, in order to increase it.
