Love, Serve & Give

When we invariably pick-up any newspaper, portal news, and other sources of information dissemination medium, there are plenty of stories about war casualties, poverty, famine and horrifying human suffering in multitude proportion which could move our tears.

We could do nothing much for them except offering silent prayers, hoping all will be well. Then our focus would come back to the mundane life activities as though nothing had happened. This is because we're not directly implicated in that situation. The absence of physical impact does not turn our mind to react.

We are sympathetic towards these fellow humans. Even to the most hardened hearted individuals who may not show their sympathy feelings outwardly, at a deep corner of their heart, they may feel it. A basic natural psychological behaviour of all being.

The modern day living is fast-paced, complicated, hurry-burry, hustle and bustle, rushing to gain material possessions by all means. We can't afford to slow down for a second, otherwise we would be left behind, looked down, resulting mounting pressure on us to follow the front crowd. The loving nature in us took a back seat, not because it is not there, but due to the veils of more pressing matters on hand had camouflaged it.

Over the years tension, depression, fear, worry, sadness shall built-up to a point of we couldn't take it anymore. Sickness sets in as well. We become withered. So, natural law of elimination shall dictate our survival, ensures only the fittest to survive by "removing" away the ailing species for "recycling."

Love's light source appears dimmer. Why did I say it appeared dimmer? This is because Love's light does not diminish its power intensity. It appeared dimmer relative to the external mind condition of the person experiencing all those self-created issues. 

The light of love is being clogged, blocked and covered by psychological and physiological conditions. 

Once reached at a point of when we say, "It's enough.", slowly the process of self-reflection begins.

Stop chasing the "maya", illusion of life because it never ends when "searching" is our goal  to fulfill material desires.

The remedy is to unconditionally love ourselves first without presence of E-go or superior self-worth. Love all, encompass the dimensions of love throughout, anywhere and everywhere and to whomever we associate with. LOVE ALL, make a motto. Simplify life by releasing all fears, worries, negative past experiences and BE IN JOY now, this very moment. 

Fulfill needs, NOT desire! Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, encourages us to live in the now. Have a simple life, wanting not more and not less. All the needs could be fulfilled with grace of God.

GIVE away all those negative thoughts and feelings which had been accumulated for decades, a huge trash-bin need to be emptied. GIVE away your LOVE feelings and thoughts to those near and dear. These generate positive emotional balance.

Hence, you will build up a heart to SERVE when love light fills-up your entire body system. Suddenly, when you hear the news of people sufferings, your heart will be moved to extend a helping hand, offering whatever you have, be it in a big or small way, with joy.

GIVE without expecting returns of any rewards because the LAW OF GIVING is to receive tenfold or more once the energy is released. A mere giving away 10 cents, would yield a dollar worth of dividend. The secret is not expecting anything in return. Just give and the law will take care by itself.

Gurudeva says, "Giveaway your time, money, physical strength or whatever means we have to some good causes, it releases the psychic burden and thus promotes self-healing process."
