Seva is Saviour

The way to expand from individual to universal consciousness is to share others’ sorrow and joy. As you grow with time, your consciousness should also grow. When you expand in Knowledge over time, depression is not possible. Your innermost source is joy. The way to overcome personal misery is to share universal misery! The way to expand personal joy is to share universal joy. Instead of thinking What about me? What can I gain from this world?, think What can I do for the world? When everyone comes from the point of contributing to society, you will have a Divine society. We have to educate ourselves and culture our individual consciousness to expand with time in the Knowledge... from What about me? to What can I contribute? If you are not having good experiences in meditation, then do more Seva – you will gain merit and your meditation will go deeper. When you bring some relief or freedom to someone through Seva, good vibrations and blessings come to you. Seva brings merit; Merit allows you to go deeper in meditation; Meditation brings back your smile. ☐Answer to last week’s riddle: That something which is precious to you is your smile – your joy. You lose it in the world and find it in the Self, in Satsang. If you can’t find it here, forget about it! You can’t find it anywhere. ☐News Flash: After a quick two-day stopover in Boston with overflowing crowds at Interface and Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and with lively late night Satsangs, Sri Sri arrived in Pittsburgh to a packed schedule of household Satsangs, temple visits, two lectures, and a celebration to inaugurate our new Centre, complete with cake flying in all directions! Linda had this extra joy of having Guruji throw slices of cake all over her immaculate living room. She managed to maintain only a slightly strained smile, knowing that her Master spattered her furniture with love; to point out her overattachment to order. Had anyone else done this, they would have been in big trouble. Somewhere in British Columbia, Canada
