Hands that serve are holier than lips that pray

[Guest guest]

There is no greater spiritual sadhana than service. The tendency to distinguish between the spiritual path, the path of service and the path of knowledge and regard them as separate is wrong. The three are not distinct; they are one. Service is spiritual knowledge, and is the principle means for acquiring divine grace. Without being a devoted follower, you cannot become a worthy leader. Without being willing to do work, you cannot attain divinity. Each one has to realize this truth. Service to society is the highest good. It is Truth, Right Conduct, Peace, Love and Non-violence that give happiness. These are the five sustainers of life. Under no circumstances should these principles be departed from or given up. Render service to society with these principles in your mind, and with broad-minded dedication to the well-being of

all.
