Do not believe
that you can, by means of Seva, reform or reshape the
world.
You may or you may
not. That does not matter.
The real value of Seva
is that it reforms you and reshapes you.
Do Seva as a spiritual
discipline.
You will be humble and
happy.
Do not strut about
that you are improving others.
Improve yourself.
Do not attach much
value to the prayer beads within closed doors.
Do not appreciate the
meditation that makes you deaf to the agony of pain.
Seva is the great opportunity to see the God Indwelling
in all. Rama could have rescued Sita unaided, but he
chose to grant the Seva to the Vanaras, for, they were
the Gods who had come to claim that chance.
God is Love
and whenever you reach out in loving
kindness, you are expressing God.
God is Truth
and whenever you seek Truth you are
seeking God.
God is beauty
and whenever you touch the beauty of
a flower or a sunset you are touching God.
God is the Essence of
all.
You are within God and
God is within you.
You could not be there
where God is not.
As you live in harmony
with Divine Law you will feel closer to God and develop
more love for God.
Learn to work hard. This is the Karma
yoga that Lord Krishna advocates - - serving without
expecting any type of result. Even if people ridicule
you, do not react. We are serving God, and that is all
that is required for our growth. Do not expect
recognition. If you crave for recognition, that is not
karma yoga.
