The world today has achieved great progress in the fields of science and worldly knowledge. But it is regressing in the fields of morality and humanness. What is the reason? The reason is selfishness and self-interest of modern man. Whatever work man performs today, he does it with a selfish motive. All his thoughts and actions are motivated by self-interest. In fact, he has become a puppet of selfishness. He looks at everything with an eye of selfishness. He is, in fact, bound in the fetters of selfishness. The moment he changes his motive of life from selfishness to social welfare, he will experience the essence of true education. It is therefore necessary that man should get rid of his selfishness and self-interest and fill his heart with noble thoughts of welfare and progress of society. In this way, he should make his heart pure with sacred feelings and curb the unsteadiness of his mind. Whatever work you do with a pure heart, steady mind and selfless attitude, it will take you towards the path of victory in your spiritual journey. – Divine Discourse, Jun 24, 1996.
