Charity & Volunteering 03 (Jul 16 - Apr 23)

[winston]

If you know someone who doesn't have any clothes or food, you shouldn't just say, "I hope all goes well for you. I hope you will be warm and have plenty to eat."

What good is it to say this, unless you do something to help?

James 2:15-16

Give your food to the hungry and care for the homeless. Then your light will shine in the dark; your darkest hour will be like the noonday sun.

Isaiah 58:10

What is true service and who truly is served?

Service has become a word of common currency but its value is very much reduced by the hypocrisy of the users.

Really speaking, only those who are afflicted with agony at the sight of pain and suffering, distress or disease, have the right to offer service; for, they are not serving others, they are serving themselves, serving to remove as quickly and as intelligently as they can, their own agony.

Service to others, is the medicine one needs for oneself to alleviate the distress which fills one at the sight of distress in another being.

Feel that you are serving yourself, that you are curbing your own ego. Otherwise service heightens your self-esteem and develops a sense of superiority, which are both harmful spiritually.

- Divine Discourse, Apr 21, 1967.

Being free from envy is cultivating divinity. You must feel happy when others' happiness or success.
