Thought of the day - "Serve and be served "

 

So, to allow divinity to play its role - like we prepare the soil, we put chemicals or manure, water it, protect it. Similarly, this, the soil in which the Master sows his seeds, has to be prepared, cleaned, so that the thing which He sows can grow. Now each one has to do this for himself or herself. You have to clean your house. So what we have to do by ourselves we have to do by ourselves, except when we are no longer able to do it for ourselves. Then we can ask for help. Babuji has said very clearly, "Don't ask for service unless you are prepared to serve yourself." Therefore I gave one slogan, you know, 'Serve and be served.' He who serves will always be served.
