To grasp that service to God and service to mankind is one and the same is dependent on your destiny, past actions, and spiritual discipline. Until you grasp this unity, do meditation and repeat the name, so that your mind becomes free from the waves of thoughts and is filled with the divine form. Also, carry out deeds for the well-being of others. Devote your time to the service of the world, regardless of the results thereof. Thus you will become blessed. Otherwise, though the body may be inactive, your mind will be very busy, committing acts on its own. People with such minds fall prey to fate (karma) in spite of their not doing anything! When a person has the mind fixed on contemplation of God and the pursuit of truth, though the body and senses do acts that are of service to the world, they won’t be affected by them; though they do actions (karma), they are still non-doers of action. The lesson of the Bhagavad Gita is embedded in this.
