Thought for the Day

 

 

 

 

 

Man when engaged in Seva (service activity) for the good of society, is bound to encounter many hurdles. This world is full of dual characteristics - good and bad, joy and grief, progress and regress, light and darkness; do not get upset by all this. Do your duty as best as you can with prayer to God. Work hard and sincerely, and leave the rest in His hands. What exactly is Seva? It is the very essence of devotion, the very breath of a devotee, his very nature. It springs from the actual experience of the devotee, an experience that convinces him that all beings are God's children, that all bodies are altars where God is installed, and that all places are His residences.

(translated into German by Marie-Stephanie Freiin von Elverfeldt)

 

 

 

Wenn der Mensch in Seva (Dienstbereitschaft) zum Wohle der Gesellschaft (Gemeinschaft) engagiert ist, ist er gezwungen, vielen Hürden zu begegnen. Diese Welt ist voller dualistischer Wesenszüge: Gut und Böse, Freude und Leid, Fortschritt und Rückschritt, Licht und Dunkelheit; laß Dich durch all das nicht aus der Fassung bringen. Tue Deine Pflicht auf die Dir bestmögliche Weise im Gebet zu GOTT. Arbeite hart und aufrichtig und überlasse den Rest SEINEN Händen. Was genau ist Dienstbereitschaft? Sie ist das wahre Wesen der Hingabe, der wahre Atem eines Gottergebenen, seine wahre Natur. Sie entspringt der tatsächlichen Erfahrung des Gottergebenen, einer Erfahrung, die ihn überzeugt, dass alle Wesen GOTTES Kinder sind, dass jeder Körper ein Altar ist, eingesetzt für GOTT, und dass alle Orte SEINE Wohnsitze sind.

 

 

(translated into Indonesian by Udayo Untarya Wijaya)

 

 

 

Rintangan-rintangan adalah hal yang akan selalu engkau jumpai ketika terjun dalam melaksanakan seva (aktivitas pelayanan) yang ditujukan demi untuk kepentingan masyarakat banyak. Karakter yang dualistis memang sudah menjadi nuansa dunia ini, yaitu dunia yang terdiri atas kebaikan dan kejahatan, senang dan sedih, kemajuan dan kemunduran, terang dan gelap; engkau tidak perlu kecewa tentang hal ini. Lakukanlah tugas-tugasmu sebaik mungkin sembari diiringi doa kepada-Nya. Bekerja keras dan secara tulus, dan serahkanlah segala-galanya di tangan Beliau. Apa pengertian sebenarnya dari istilah seva? Ia tak lain merupakan esensi (inti-sari) dari devotion (bhakti), yang merupakan nafas & sifat sejati dari seorang bhakta. Sikap melayani seperti itu bersumber dari pengalaman aktual bhakta bersangkutan, suatu pengalaman yang meyakinkan dirinya bahwa semua mahluk adalah anak-anak Tuhan, bahwa badan jasmani ini merupakan altar tempat bersemayamnya Sang Ilahi, dan bahwa segala tempat adalah merupakan permukiman-Nya.

(translated into Spanish by Equipo Namo)

 

 

 

 

Cuando el hombre se dedica al Seva (actividad de servicio) para el bienestar de la sociedad, está sujeto a encontrar muchos obstáculos. Este mundo está lleno de características duales: bueno y malo, alegría y pesar, progreso y retroceso, luz y oscuridad; no te perturbes por todo esto. Haz tu deber lo mejor que puedas como una oración a Dios. Trabaja arduamente y con sinceridad, dejando el resto en Sus manos. ¿Qué es seva exactamente? Es la verdadera esencia de la devoción, el aliento mismo de un devoto, su verdadera naturaleza. Proviene de la experiencia real del devoto, una experiencia que lo convence de que todos los seres son hijos de Dios, que todos los cuerpos son altares donde Dios está instalado, y que todos los lugares son Sus moradas.

 

 

(translated into Italian by Mabatini)

 

 

 

 

L'uomo quando è impegnato nel Seva (Attività di servizio) per il bene della società, è destinato ad incontrare molti ostacoli. Questo mondo è pieno di caratteristiche duali: bene e male, gioia e dolore. Progresso e regresso, luce e oscurità,; non siate sconvolti da tutto questo. Fate il vostro dovere al meglio delle vostre capacità offrendo a Dio la vostra preghiera. Lavorate duramente e con sincerità, e lasciate tutto il resto nelle Sue mani. Cosa è esattamente il Seva? E' la vera essenza della devozione , il vero respiro di un devoto, la sua vera natura. Nasce dalla reale esperienza del devoto, una esperienza che lo convince che tutti gli esseri sono figli di Dio, che ogni corpo è un altare dove si trova insediato Dio, è che ogni posto è la Sua residenza.
