Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 " Never think that the society cannot progress if you do not render service. Society does not depend on you. If not you, someone else will do the needful. God governs everything. In the first instance, understand the meaning of service. It is possible to understand this once you understand who you are. You are a manava (human being). Manava does not mean the physical form. It is synonymous with the principle of Atma. Human being is the manifestation of five elements. Ancient sages had total control over the five elements and thus could enjoy peace and security. But modern man is subjected to hardships, as he has no control over the five elements. Man will shine forth as Atmaswarupa (embodiment of Atma) once he becomes the master of the five elements. - From Swami's Discourse on October' 2nd'2000 Explore your hobbies and interests.
