A good deed, an elevated deed done in the name of God. Does charity done to a lot many no. Brings more blessings? Or is the intention behind that good deed that brings blessings. Any mixture of rajo, tamo sanskars of bringing benefit to self before others brings not much of desired results of transformed higher self and contented life.Desire of name, fame, long term connection, enthusiasm, a feel good factor for filling in the empty space too are subtle forms of ego which thinks for its own benefit first.A self less service doesn't calculate or even thinks of such matters.
Let's make a calculation of our benefit, if we still have a sanskar of calculating profit. Service done to a large no. A lot of energy spent for feeling your own feel good factor, a lot more energy spent in filling in subtle ego changed into self respect. A lot of it in separating subtle race and competition feelings.Further more energy spent in being uninfluenced by people 's opinions. And last but not the least a lot of energy is spent in avoiding show offs.
So, is it the good idea to take such calculative steps.
So, service whether done to a large no. Or a single person, the fruit it bears depends entirely on how elevated my internal stage is(Do I feel fortunate enough that God chose me for his task, do I feel greatful for getting a chance to express myself. Do I enjoy ❤and live Life for the moment,with living as such being the highest purpose)
It shouldn't be like I am always fighting to subside the ill feelings from past sanskars. I have to become a natural gyani and yogi,feeling great no matter what.
It's a good idea to start experimenting limited service too where I get a chance to starve my ego and i start practicing knowledge full thoughts rather than repeating fighting thoughts struggling my way towards stable mind.
In that context, a very important checking...Are my deeds lowering my ego or further raising it, we can check that very easily by asking ourselves one simple question....Do we find it easy to follow srimat (Godly directions) or we always feel it as a bondage.
What is God's purpose behind, we doing the service is lowering the ego and if that is not happening we are moving in circles⭕ delaying our own higher aims to manifest, further making life stuck to where it is and deprived of blessings by self, drama and the God himself.So, care should be taken to do the deeds which lowers my ego, without even thinking of where the whole world is racing and not binding self to a limited identity of a particular job/position and the qualities I know I have. One needs to become free from everything in mind that binds oneself and limits self from becoming complete and perfect like father. And then we see miracles happening,we become an angel,free, unlimited and the companion of God. Om shanti!!
