to Help Others
The Special Importance of this Human Life
Questioner: What should a person do in order to not waste his human life?
Dadashri: Just by continuous inner contemplation of, 'Let this precious human life not go to waste,' one will have fulfilled the goal of his life. Instead of worrying about this, people worry about money. You do not have any control over your efforts, but you do have control over doing deep inner intent (bhaav). Any effort made is under the control of another entity. However, it is your inner intent (bhaav) that will bring results. In reality, even your inner intent (bhaav) is not under your control, but if you 'do' the intent, then there will be a result.
Questioner: He is going to benefit for sure!
Dadashri: Yes, but people believe that they will lose whatever they have if they give it away.
Questioner: People of a lower level of thinking would believe that
Dadashri: The one with an elevated level believes that donations should be made to others.
Life is Meant for Helping Others Life is meant for practicing benevolence and serving others. The deepest science behind this is that when one uses his mind, speech and body for serving others, he will have everything. What if you were to charge a fee for your services?
Questioner: It would create difficulties.
Dadashri: They charge a fee in the courthouses. When they charge for their services, the laws of benevolence towards others are not applicable for them.
Questioner: But a person has to make a living, surely.
Dadashri: Do not think about your daily needs at all. You will not encounter any obstacles in your life if you Help Others in any way. People do not understand the science behind this. When a person begins to serve others with only half the understanding, he is rewarded with a contrary result and, therefore, he loses faith in serving others. If one were to serve others now in this lifetime), he will reap the rewards of that service within two or three lifetimes. This is the very Science.
Helping Others without Judgment or Conditions
Questioner: People serve others because it is a good thing to do and they even tell the people they are helping that it is for their benefit. But what should one do if those people are not willing to accept the fact that it is for their own good?
Questioner: What is so important about human life?
Dadashri: The purpose of the human life is service to others. The life of the people of India is for attaining liberation through the knowledge of the Self (absolutism). For everyone else, the purpose of life is to be of service to others (paropkar). Service to others means that you use your mind, your speech and your actions for others. One serves others through the medium of the mind, speech and body. One may ask what is to become of him if he serves others in this way. What will he be left with?
