Spiritual practice for true social service

    "People speak of doing good to the world. Is the world such a small thing? And who are you, pray to do good to the world? First realize God, see Him by means of spiritual discipline. If He imparts power, then you can do good to others, otherwise not."


Implied Meaning:  
 
    The above verse emphasizes the importance of realizing that the reins of this world are firmly in God's hands and that He sustains the world, whether we realize it or not. Thus, we need to shed any notion or the ego that "I am helping or doing good in this world".

    Since God alone has Absolute Knowledge of past, present and future, He alone knows what is the absolute good of the world. Hence, only when we are imparted with divine power and blessing can we truly bring about any good in the world. Once our ego is overcome with spiritual practice, we realize God's grace and immense power, and become eligible to carry out His mission in this world, as per His will.
