How to lead a noble life that is worthy of offering to God? Bhagawan lovingly reveals to us today.
To
the extent possible, serve society. Of course, you need to take up jobs
and earn your livelihood. But do not be avaricious. Be satisfied with
what you get. Everyone has to leave this world empty-handed. Alexander
conquered many kingdoms and seized a lot of wealth. When his end
approached, he realised that he could not take even a single penny with
him. He requested his minister to keep his two hands raised above the
head during the final journey so that the people would understand that
even the mighty emperor Alexander had to leave the world taking nothing
with him. Likewise, even a millionaire has to partake of only food; he
cannot eat gold. So, be satisfied with the basic necessities of food,
clothing and shelter. Do your jobs properly and undertake service
activities in your leisure time. The best way to love God is to love all
and serve all.
