Right Understanding to Help Others
self, it will go into the gutter (go to waste). If you spend for the welfare of others, it will help you in your future life.
What does the pure Soul-Lord within (Shuddhatma Bhagwan) say? It says, 'I will take care of he who takes care of others. I will have nothing to do with the one who takes care of himself.
When you do the work of the world, your own work will continue to be done and it will amaze you.
What is the nature of the worldly life? God resides in every living being and if you hurt anyone, even in the slightest degree, you violate your moral duty, your religion (dharma). If you Help Others, religion will be there. This will bring you what you desire. The fruit of hurting others (adharma) results in pain (dukh) and your desires will not be fulfilled.
Relative religions are the path of the worldly life. They are the path of service to others. The path of liberation goes beyond serving others. It is to remain in the bliss of the Self.
The Beginning of Religion Dharma begins from the moment you begin to give happiness (sukh) to others. Compassion begins when one is not worried about his own happiness but is constantly preoccupied with helping others in difficulty. Since my childhood, I had a constant desire to help people in difficulty. True compassion (karunyata) is when you do not think about yourself at all. Only then does Gnan (the liberating knowledge) manifest.
But one becomes an honorary chairman, honorary this and honorary that! Hey, fool! Why are you taking on these liabilities and hassles? You are now ready to retire. There is very little time left for you.
If you cannot Help Others (doing seva), at least make sure that you do not hurt anyone, even if they have caused you problems. A person hurts you because of the effect of your own

This Is All You Need to Learn Questioner: We should be happy by giving happiness to others?
Dadashri: Yes, just learn this much! There is nothing else worth learning. This is the only religion in this world. You will only be happy if you give happiness to others.
You are doing this business and you earn some money. So now when there are some hungry and unhappy villagers, give them some food and water. When they get married, give them some money so that their life improves. If you comfort someone, God will comfort you.
The Shop of Happiness Questioner: Nowadays, people bite the hand that feeds them. If you try to help someone, they steal from you.
Dadashri: Let your pocket be picked. When that happens, it is your past account that is being settled. But if you comfort someone now, you will definitely be rewarded and I will give you a one hundred percent written guarantee for this. I must have given to others previously and that is why I have so much happiness right now. My business is only to give happiness to others. We do not want shops of unhappiness. Those who want to, can come and collect their happiness and those that come to make us unhappy, we should willingly accept it because we must have some pending accounts which we can now settle. Accept whatever they give you. You get what is due to you; otherwise nobody would bother you.
So give happiness to everyone. If you hurt someone and make him unhappy, he may bind revenge against you. They will wait for the opportunity to get back at you. Don't you hear about someone killing someone with a knife? That person had been
