—Swami Sivananda—
Father is your visible God. Mother is your visible God. A Sadhu (saint) is your visible God.
Serve Sadhus. Serve the poor. Serve the sick. Serve the parents. Serve the teachers. Serve friends.
Service is worship of God. Service of man is the service of God. Service of the poor is the service of God. Service of parents is the service of God.
Service will purify your heart and give immense joy. Give water to thirsty persons. Help your class-fellows. Make them understand what you have learnt. Help the blind in crossing the street.
Help your mother in the kitchen. Wash the clothes of your parents, sick persons and Mahatmas (saints).
Go to the hospital and bring medicine for your neighbours. Distribute bread to the poor people, cows, birds etc. before you take food. Remove the thorns, glass-pieces and big stones from the road. Do not leave any work half-finished.
