________________
universal affection does not feel weak and distressed and is able to efficiently employ the means and capabilities in trying to mitigate the pain and misery of others. Even nature helps such a servant in doing his duty, the society also extends its helping hand in his work of rendering service to the needy and the time may come when the entire world becomes ready to help him and feels rewarded in cooperating with him. What is meant is that if the heart remains filled with feelings for others and the inertia and hardness induced by selfishness melt away, and the consciousness manifests itself, the service rendered to those in pain and misery becomes the easiest way to attain emancipation and liberation.
