How should we sanctify our time?
Today people are wasting a big portion of their precious lives by indulging in flimsy gossip and watching scenes of violence and cruelty.
Many are unaware that time sanctified by service offers high rewards to themselves as well as to those they serve.
All acts of service are not equally sanctifying or uniform in the benefits they confer.
When service is undertaken by power-hungry people, or under compulsion or by imitative urges, it results in more harm than good.
A sincere aspirant undertaking service must avoid egotism, exhibitionism and favouritism.
Before embarking on a service project, introspect and examine whether your heart is full of selfless love, humility and compassion, whether your head is full of intelligent understanding and knowledge of the problem and its solution, whether your hands are eager to offer the healing touch, and whether you can gladly spare and share time, energy and skill to help those in dire need.
- Divine Discourse Nov 21, 1986.
Make every act of your service, a worthy flower, to be placed at the Lord’s Feet.

If you know someone who doesn't have any clothes or food, you shouldn't just say, "I hope all goes well for you. I hope you will be warm and have plenty to eat." What good is it to say this, unless you do something to help?
