WHOM TO SERVE

Swami Sivananda

The world is yourself. Therefore love all, serve all, be kind to all, embrace all. Service of humanity, especially of the suffering, is very dear to the Lord. Indeed that is the only royal road to God-realisation. Behold the Lord in the poor, down-trodden, the oppressed and lowly ones. Serve God. Serve His creation. You will attain emancipation. Serve cheerfully with love for all. The secret of true life is in the love of God and the service of humanity. Become a servant of humanity. This is the secret of attaining God-realisation. Swarajya is service of the poor. Seek out the lowly and the miserable, cheer up and bring a ray of comfort to them by serving them unstintingly. Become a servant of the poor. See the Lord in the poor. Your heart will be purified quickly. Contd…


If you see a nice picture, you are reminded of its artist; if you hear a very melodious Bhajan, you become aware of its singer. Should God be made the sole exception that when you are looking at His handiwork — this world, you forget Him?
