INTRODUCTION
a blind man leading another blind man. Both must fall into a deep abyss.
The greatest help or service that you can do to the world is imparting of knowledge of God. Spiritual help is the highest help you can render to mankind. The root cause of human suffering is Avidya or ignorance. If you can remove this ignorance in men, then only can they be eternally happy. That sage who tries to remove the ignorance is the highest benefactor of the world. If you remove the hunger of man by giving food, it is only temporary physical help. It is removal of a physical want for three hours. Then the hunger manifests The man remains in the same miserable state Building of hospitals, rest-houses and choultries for the distribution of free food, distribution of clothes, etc , are not the highest kind of help. Miseries are not eradicated The world will continue to remain in a miserable state even if you build many millions of hospitals and feeding-places Get Brahma Jnana or divine knowledge, and distribute this knowledge everywhere and remove the ignorance in men. Then only will all kinds of miseries, tribulations and evils be completely eradicated.
The man who serves the world really serves himself That man who helps others really helps himself. This is another important point Generally worldlyminded people are puffed up with egoism when they render some help to others They are fillled with pride. This world does not want the help of anybody.
