Original
What is the true definition of service, and what place should we accord it in our lives? Bhagawan clearly explains to us today.
What, according to you, is service? You consider helping people in difficulties is service. No. It is not as simple as that. Your body should be constantly engaged in serving others. The human body consists of several limbs. All these limbs are meant to be engaged in serving your fellowmen and not for other activities. Unfortunately, we are forgetting this basic fact. Every limb in the human body has been granted by God for karmopasana (worshipping God through service). Karmopasana is the only means by which human life can be sanctified. We are building several temples. We are undertaking various sadhanas. But all these can give us only temporary satisfaction, not eternal joy. Our ancient rishis have been able to achieve eternal joy through a conscious effort. Therefore, you must develop firm faith in the truth that nothing can provide eternal joy except service to humanity. Undertake service to the suffering humanity.

The Lord will love only those who love others. If you seek to win the Lord’s love, you must have to love others. – BABA
