WHY TO HELP OTHERS ?

WHY TO HELP OTHERS ?

Why should we help  or serve people .


You will not incur any loss or experience any obstacles in life if it is spent serving and obliging others. All your wishes will be fulfilled providing you remain free from interference and restlessness, 

So be obliging. If you are going somewhere, ask people how can I help you, 

Someone may tell you that they don't trust you, so in that case, ask for their forgiveness. 

Those who do trust you, be sure to help them.

I am telling you this because even as a young man I had an obliging nature. At the age of twenty-five my friends used to call me a 'superhuman.'

Who do you call a human?

A human is one that gives and takes equally. He will give happiness to those who make him happy and bestow misery upon those who cause him misery. 

This kind of dealing is a characteristic of a human being.


Those who take away happiness of others go into the animal form in the next life. 

Those who give happiness and take happiness will remain as humans. 

Those who give away their own happiness to others are superhuman and will be born as celestial beings.

KEEP STRONG INTENTIONS TO HELP PEOPLE

 KEEP STRONG INTENTIONS TO HELP PEOPLE

Questioner:  I want to help others, but I do not have enough money to help. Please advice.

Enlightened soul: Do any of the fruit trees eat their own fruits? No. These trees teach human beings to give their fruits to others. When you do this, nature in turn will reward you. The Neem tree is very bitter, yet people grow it because of its many benefits; otherwise, they would uproot it. It is beneficial in many ways: it is cooling to the body, it has medicinal value and its extracts have healing properties. In Satyug (past time cycle characterized by unity in thoughts, speech and acts), people strived only to make others happy. They would be constantly thinking of ways to oblige others.

More important than a person's external actions of obliging others are his internal intents (bhaav) to help. This intention should always be present. If you have the money, your intention should be to use it to lessen someone else's misery. If you have such knowledge, use it to explain things to people to alleviate their misery. Help Others with whatever assets you have. If you cannot do this, at least maintain an obliging nature. What is an obliging nature? It is to Help Others.

Your nature would be beautiful if you maintained an obliging nature. Simply giving away money is not considered an obliging nature. Whether you have money to give away or not, your intentions should be to Help Others. You should at least have intentions to help those who come to you. To donate money or not depends on your ability to do so.

The Gateway to Eternal Happiness

 Self Realization – The Gateway to Eternal Happiness

The true Self is an abode of infinite bliss, yet you are looking for happiness in temporary things! Until you realize who you really are, everything proves to be transient and temporary. When you realize the Self(Self Realization), you attain eternal happiness

WHAT IS SERVICE TO SELF ?

 WHAT IS SERVICE TO SELF ?

Questioner: What do you mean by Service to Self ? Can you please explain ?

Enlightened soul: There are only two kinds of religion (dharma). One is service to the world and the other is service to the Self. The service to the Self falls under the 'home department,' and those who perform worldly service will get worldly happiness and material wealth. Where neither is to be found, there exist only social lectures which can dangerously delude and intoxicate (keyf) the ego of a person. Wherever there is any kind of a worldly service, there exists dharma. If you cannot provide service for the world, then do the service to your own Self. The service to one's own Self is higher than the service to the world, because the one who serves his Self does not hurt anyone!

Questioner: But surely a person has to have this realization?
Enlightened soul:That realization is not easy.

Questioner: How can it be acquired?

Enlightened soul: You have to ask a Gnani Purush, 'Sir, are you doing service for the world or are you serving your Self?' He will reply, 'I am serving the Self only!' Then you have to request, 'Please show me that way.' 

The Signs of Service to the Self (Atma) 

Questioner: What are the signs of the service to one's Self?

 Enlightened soul: The primary sign, prerequisite, is to not hurt any living being. Everything falls under this main quality. This includes celibacy (brahmacharya). Non-celibacy is tantamount to hurting someone. Even in consensual sex, millions of potentially living beings (jivas) die in the process. This is the same as willfully hurting others. With such non-celibacy (abrahmacharya), service to others ceases. Other signs (lakshan) of service to the Self are that one does not lie, steal, commit violence or hoard money. Hoarding money and other material things is a kind of violence (himsa). It hurts others. Everything is encompassed in this.

Questioner: What are the other signs (lakshan) of service to the Self? When can one say that he is doing service to the Self?

Enlightened soul: The one who serves the Self does not hurt anyone even when others hurt him. Not only that, he will not wish them ill. On the contrary, he will bless the person who hurts him. In the service to the Self, even when a person yells abusively at you, you will not be affected. You simply have to 'see' what you are doing. The other person may continue to talk like a radio, but You simply have to 'see' that 'the radio is blaring.'

HOW TO HELP PEOPLE ?

 HOW TO HELP PEOPLE ?

Questioner: Does it help to 'see' (do darshan of) God within those who we are serving? Will that give exact and good results?

Enlightened soul: A person would not become involved in serving mankind once he has had a vision (darshan) of God because having had such a vision, he would not leave God alone. To see and experience God, people offer service to others. Service to others should be sincere and done from the heart; only then it is fruitful. When a person acquires fame and prestige for his service to others, it can create a lot of difficulties for him. When service to people is done without any expectations of recognition, then it is real. Prestige may indeed come, but one should not have any expectations and desire for it.



Generally, people are not inclined to serve others, but within them lay the need and the greed for fame and recognition; this is what drives them to do so. The one whose services for others are true and pure is the one who is non-acquisitive (aparigrahi). Such a one has no desire or need for anything. On the whole, people give service to others with expectations and subtle beggary and greed for fame, recognition and an expectation of position of power down the road. When one's intentions are devious, external difficulties will arise. When one becomes free from beggary and expectations, everything works out. On the one hand, people want to possess as much as they can (parigraha), and on the other, they want to Help Others. How can the two together be possible?
