One can serve God only through Shrama and Prema, (effort with love). The best way to serve
God is to love all and serve all.
There was an old lady in Mathura. She used to take blankets in the darkest hour of the night and
distribute them to poor people who were shivering in the cold.
One day she was bending her head
and serving the poor. A few youths gathered there and asked her
"Oh! Lady! while you are doing
such selfless work, why are you bending your head and walking?"
She replied: “God has given so
much of wealth to the people with so many hands. But I am able to serve the people only with
my two hands. Is it not a thing about which I should feel ashamed?"
We are not prepared to share with others and are only ready to receive whatever we can get. This
is one way traffic. "There is no chance of immortality without doing sacrifice" say the Vedhas.
You should sacrifice and share what you have with others. Then only you may have peace. You
should make others happy. You must do the Saadhana of Sacrifice. You should provide help to
other devotees.
Charity is the beauty for hands and not decoration with bangles.
The Mind is like a key to the lock of the heart. If you turn it towards God you get liberation; if
you turn it towards the world you get into bondage. You should develop the feeling "Lokaas
Samasthaas Sukhino Bhavanthu." You should aspire for world unity. Out of unity you get purity
and from purity comes divinity. Now there is only community and enmity, which has to be
eliminated.
Prema is the binding factor to unite all humanity together. Therefore, cultivate Prema or
Universal Love.
(From Bhagawan's Divine Discourses)
