A: His selfless work is helpful; its utility cannot be denied. See how he works and remains there and how you sent him the extract from the conversations. There is a link between the two. The work had further purified the man's mind he gained an insight into the wisdom of sages, rather readily. Social work has a place in the scheme of spiritual uplift. The work is social and not selfish. God is kept in view along. The public good is identical with one's own good. Such activities of the body and mind purify the mind. Thus good social work is a way to render the mind purer. Q: But social work does not give us leisure for meditation? A: Of course, one's efforts cannot end with social work. The outlook is always on the highest truth. Everything will come right in time." Conscious Immortality, p. 120/121 Jai Guru Datta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
