OVERFLOW AND SERVE🔗

Feel and offer

Going to the temple or doing some social service should be like an overflowing. You feel so much, you feel there is nothing more to be done and you think, 'I have so much of time, let me do some service to society.' Then it is beautiful. Then it will lead you to enlightenment. The service itself can lead you to spiritual experience. You feel overflowing and think, 'God has given me so much, this whole life is so beautiful' and you go to a temple or church and offer your gratitude. Then it will just liberate you; you will become enlightened.

But if you are going to the temple or for social service just because you don't feel relaxed within yourself, because you can't sit quietly, because there is so much of restlessness, because you just want to deal with the catharsis in some way, then it is not right.

Service should always be an overflowing of your being; it should never be done for any other purpose.
