Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord You have to realize that life is meant for selfless service, and not to be lived for selfish purposes. Only through such service can oneness of mankind be experienced. Unselfish service is the sheet-anchor of Karma Yoga. The basis of Yoga is disciplining the mind and the body through disinterested service. Society honors only such persons who serve society. Such persons earn the grace of God. Every individual has to realize the paramount importance of selfless service. The spirit of service should be coupled with readiness to sacrifice. Only then can it be called selfless service free from any taint of self-interest. Such service lends savor to life. However eminent a person may be, he has to realize that the main purpose of life is to render dedicated service to one's fellowmen. The relationship between mother and child, preceptor and disciple, God and devotee, is based on mutual dependence. There cannot be a child without a mother, a disciple without a teacher, a devotee without God. Each is associated with the other in an inextricable bond.
