Through

activity, man attains purity of consciousness. In fact, man has to

welcome activity with this end in view. And why strive for a pure

consciousness? If a bucket is filled with polluted and muddy water, can

you see its bottom? Similarly, within man's heart, deep down in his

consciousness, we have the Atma. But it can be cognized only when the

consciousness is clarified. Your imaginations, your inferences, your

judgements and prejudices, your passions, emotions and egoistic

desires, muddy the consciousness and make it opaque. How, then, can you

become aware of the Atman, that is at the very base? Through Seva

(selfless service) rendered without any desire to placate one's ego and

with only the well-being of others in view, it is possible to cleanse

the consciousness and have the Atman revealed.
