BASE YOUR SADHANA ON SEVA

Swami Sivananda

Service of humanity, especially of the suffering is very dear to the Lord. Indeed that is the only royal road to God-realisation. Selfless service and self-surrender open the heart, expand the consciousness and deepen the spirit. God can be best served or worshiped through the service of His creatures. An hour′s service of the sick, with divine Bhava is better than a year′s pilgrimage to Tirthas. Feed the hungry, nurse the sick, comfort the afflicted and lighten the sorrow of the sorrowful. God will bless you. Test of pure love is true service. Selfless service alone can purify your heart and fill it with divine virtues. Selfless service alone can take you to the doer of intuition, the realm of infinite Peace. Through selfless service and charity, develop the heart and cleanse the lower mind. They are helpful to Sadhaks in their Sadhana. Only the pure in heart will have vision of God.


God is love. Love is God. Selfishness, greed, egoism, vanity, pride, hatred contract the heart and stand in the way of developing universal love. Feel that the whole world is your body, your own home. Melt and destroy all barriers that separate man from man.
