The ideal of service must inspire those in authority, those who possess riches, those endowed with skills, intelligence, leisure and health. Put an end to laziness, bury your clamorous ego, and bury the greed for power and pelf, then you become qualified to serve! Be worthy of this gift of grace to be a volunteer (Sevadal); maintain its high ideals. This opportunity is sheer grace; it’s not a consequence of some claim. It does not bind you; it gives you distinction and duty! If you have it with you, and yet, you withdraw from service or hesitate to render it, you are on the wrong track. People come to the Divine to get rid of sin and accumulate spiritual merit; if you dishonour the badge, you are retaining sins and perhaps accumulating a lot more! Remember, with each act of love and service, you are nearing the Lord; with each act of hate and grab, you are moving farther away.
