Why should we serve selflessly and also be careful not to hurt others? Bhagawan lovingly explains to us with a wonderful analogy today. The service rendered by a person ensures a bright future when that service is performed devoid of ego and in gratefulness considering it an opportunity given by God. Whatever you do for others, do it with a feeling that you are doing for oneself. In truth the service you render does more good to you! A small example: A friend is warmly welcomed, taken to the drawing room and offered a cup of coffee. This good act gets imprinted in the person’s heart and that person will remember the warm welcome received and reciprocate it. If you look after a friend who is hospitalised with none to look after, will that friend not reciprocate the help when you need it? So, remember that the service you render to others is a reserve that will help you with your future needs. Similarly, if you extend this idea and consider that bad deeds done to others are truly deeds being done to oneself, you will never do bad deeds!
