Generosity Awakens Freedom

To act generously, is to awaken a certain kind of freedom: freedom from the stranglehold of self-concern and consequently, freedom to choose a level of responsibility beyond the minimal charge, most of us have for ourselves.

- Dale S. Wright

The rare individual who unselfishly tries to serve others has an enormous advantage."

- Dale Carnegie

Giving Creates Lasting Happiness

The beauty of generosity, is that it not only brings us happiness in the moment — we feel good when we give — but it is also the cause for happiness to arise in the future.

- Joseph Goldstein, “The Evolution of Happiness”

[winston]

This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love: the more they give, the more they possess.

- Rainer Rilke

Why is it important to take up Seva or selfless activities?

Through right action one achieves purity of heart which leads to the acquisition of jnana (the higher spiritual knowledge).

When right action is coupled with Jnana, there is true service.

To feel that one should be the sole enjoyer of the results of one's actions is a sign of selfishness. It is naive to think that one alone is the doer of one's actions.

All the things in the world are not intended for the exclusive enjoyment of any single person. They are to be shared by all.

It is only when attachment to the fruits of one's actions is discarded that the action becomes yoga (Divine communion).

Members of the Seva Dal should overcome the sense of 'mine' and 'thine.' When they embark on service activities, they should regard it as a privilege to serve others and look upon it as a form of worship of the Divine.

They should look upon service to society as the means of finding self-fulfilment in life.

They should face whatever problems may arise with faith and courage and carry on their service activities without fanfare in a spirit of humility and dedication.

- Divine Discourse, Nov 18, 1984.

Selfless, loving service to others, is the highest form of sadhana. It represents true devotion - Bhakti.

From Food4U:-

Greetings and good day.

It was an unexpected turn of events on the 11th November' 23, that lead Food4U to provide food aid, to MILAD Sports Carnival 2023 at Dewan Serbaguna MBPJ for the handicapped.

The sponsors for food and drinks for this event, decided to abandoned their offer on the eleventh hour of 10th November'23.

Food4U received a desperate call for help from Pastor Sia, Chairman of MILAD, who herself is also a handicapped, to provide breakfast, lunch and tea, till the end of their program at 4.00pm
MILAD Sports Carnival was officiated by YB Hannah Yeoh with 200 participants arriving throughout the country.

It was a joyful event, witnessing the handicapped enjoying themselves to the food, drinks and sport games organised for them.

Food4U ended the day with a word of thanks to the MILAD committee for allowing us to be part of their program, which we hold dearly to our hearts.
Uncle Tony.
Food4U.
