Why should we willingly and gladly perform the allotted duties and enthusiastically take up service to society?
The Scripture advises that service to the society is the highest Seva (selfless service), as well as the most beneficial Sadhana (spiritual discipline).
You cannot run away from this obligation; you have to use the community of men wherein you are born, for sublimating your egoism and saving yourself.
Seva taken up as Sadhana teaches fortitude. Even Divine Advents demonstrate in their lives the supreme importance of service.
- Divine Discourse, Jan 11, 1968.
Greater than all other forms of worship is Seva done in an unselfish and dedicated spirit.
