Q:

 

Some say that to make an effort for one's liberation is

selfish , and that instead of that , one should do good

to others by selfless service.

 

 

Maharshi:

 

Those people believe that jnanis are selfish

and that themselves are selfless , but this is

not a true belief . The jnani lives in the experience

of Brahman and the effect of this experience

spread all over the world .

 

A radio transmission is done from one point

and is its effect can be felt all over the world.

Those who would like to benefit from it can do so.

Similarly , the Self-realization of the jnani spreads

everywhere and whosoever wants can tune to it.

This is not a lesser service.
