SERVICE
TO GOD
When we refer
to service, we mean Seva and not help.
The scriptures tell us to serve. This
service itself becomes worship of the God.
He is better off without our help but due to his kindness, gives us an
opportunity to serve. Hanuman saved the
life of the injured Lakshmana. Later
Lakshmana was injured again but revived without Hanuman’s help. Rama gave Hanumana the opportunity to serve.
It is the service only that we
grow and transform. We invoke the presence of the God in the idol and offer our
prayers. Is this a service or
worship? When we invoke His presence,
every action is worship for Him. We are to develop the attitude of Seva. Whatever we do, be it working in the office,
interacting with people, objects, we should develop an attitude that we are
interacting with the one Lord manifesting in all these forms.
We need to be humble and
have devotion otherwise our action will not be considered as service. When we
serve someone, we are helping ourselves by becoming better people. There is always a great joy in service. Hanuman chose the path of service and is
known as the greatest of all devotees.
In service, there is no asking.
It is not a contract or a job or a business. In service, one has to feel and identify himself
with the divinity in all, and then only serve.
We serve our country, the
world, our relatives, the birds and plants with a feeling of complete
humility. When Hanuman met Sita in
Lanka, he called her Mata. A good
messenger becomes an instrument and allows the message to pass through him on
behalf of his Master. Hanuman enabled
himself to speak politely on behalf of Rama.
Meditation Sadguru Archna Didi has always been advising in every Yoga
session, Meditation session, workshops, in the gatherings of intellectuals, or
otherwise throughout the world, that we should serve and serve the humanity in
any way, in any form and as per the capacity.
That will be the beauty of service and results in service to the God.
