Guest guest Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Spirituality and Ego are diametrically opposite. But we find a spiritual act makes us egoistic and we start feeling that we are devoted, we do service etc. This is really a bad practice. Better you keep quiet and do not boast about your service activities. Service should make us more humble than to feel egoistic. Those who are not aware of the underlying philosophy of service, think great about themselves. Baba says, 'To whom you do service? It is really for your own self and none else. The other who you feel as different is in fact your own self only. Since all are embodiments of Divine, all the service we render to the so called 'others' are to ones own selves only. Hence serve with humility and without any ego and without expecting any thing in return, even the grace of God. Our existence in this earth is veritabily for serving others and not for accumulating any material things. Sairam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
