goal. The entire world has made money its main goal or production and that is why people do not benefit from the byproduct.
If you make service to others your only goal, then money as a byproduct will come on its own. If you keep money secondary, that is, treat it as a byproduct and not the main production, then more money will come your way. But because people make money their main goal, it does not come to them. Therefore, I am telling you to have this constant intent to serve others as your main goal. The byproduct will come on its own. One does not need to expend any effort or spend money for the byproduct. It comes free of cost.
So make a decision that you want to serve all human beings. Use whatever skills you have to serve others. This should be your only goal. As a result, you will receive other things free of cost, and you will never be short of money, while those in pursuit of money will suffer a loss. People have created factories for producing money and consequently no byproduct is left to gain! Money in itself is the byproduct. One should concentrate on the main production in order to receive the byproduct free. The Gnani's Main Production is Salvation of the World
Anything that one does in order to attain the Self (Atma), is regarded as production and because of that, he will automatically receive the byproducts and all worldly necessities. I only keep one type of production, 'Let the world attain absolute peace and may many attain liberation (moksha).' This is my production and that is why I continue to receive all these byproducts. The material comforts and luxuries I get are different than what you get. That is because my production is of a very high quality. In the same way, if your production was of a higher quality, then your byproduct would also be of a higher quality. There is an intention behind everything. If your intention is to serve others, then you will receive money as a byproduct.
Indirect Way of Serving God Everything is a byproduct. All material comforts will come your way easily, but because people make money their main goal (of production), it does not come to them easily. People are always stressed and anxious and they go about wearing frowns on their faces. They have a comfortable home, good food to eat, yet they cannot enjoy it. There are so many facilities for one's comfort and yet he cannot enjoy them. So serve people, because God resides in everyone. You will not find God anywhere else.
You are a doctor so I am telling you to do service for humans. If you were a veterinarian, I would tell you to serve the animals. God resides within the animals but in humans, God is more manifest. The Path of Liberation Comes After the Path of Service
Questioner: How is the path to liberation superior than the path of service to humanity? Can you please explain this?
Dadashri: If you ask a person who serves humanity what he is, he would tell you that he is a humanitarian, would he not?
Questioner: Yes, he would
Dadashri: So to say, 'I am a humanitarian and I Help Others,' is egoism, but if I ask this man here who he is, he would tell you that, 'For the world I am 'Chandubhai,' and, in fact, I am a pure Soul." To say this is the absence of ego.
The ego of a humanitarian is for a good cause, but it is ego nevertheless. If one's ego is for a bad deed, he would be called a devil! And if the ego was for a good cause, then he would be called a divine person. Ego is ego. Ego makes one wander aimlessly, life after life. A person can experience liberation, right here, the moment his ego is gone.
To Know "Who am I' is the Ultimate Religion Questioner: What should any human being do? What
