Namaste,
6) Serve Man as God
____________________
One of the greatest lessons I have learned in my life is to pay as much
attention to the means of work as to its end..... I have been always learning
great lessons from that one principle, and it appears to me that all the SECRET
OF SUCCESS is there: to pay as much attention to the MEANS as to the END.

It is the LEVEL-HEADED man, the CALM man, of GOOD judgement and COOL nerves, of
great SYMPATHY and LOVE, who does good work and so does good to himself.
*******************************************************************************
Great work requires GREAT and PERSISTENT effort for a long time. Neither need
we trouble ourselves, if a few fail. It is in the nature of things that many
should fall, that troubles should come, that tremendous difficulties should
arise, that selfishness and all the other devils in the human heart should
struggle hard, when they are about to be driven out by the FIRE OF SPIRITUALITY
*******************************************************************************
Buddha is the only prophet who said, "I do not care to know your various
theories about God. What is the use of discussing all the subtle doctrines
about the soul? DO GOOD and BE GOOD. And this will take you to freedom and to
whatever truth there is.... He WORKS BEST who works without any motive, neither
for money, nor for fame, nor for anything else; and when a man can do that, he
will be a BUDDHA, and out of him will come the power to work in such a manner
as will transform the world.
*******************************************************************************
The good live for others alone. The wise man should SACRIFICE himself for
others: I can secure my own good only by doing your good. There is no other
way, NONE WHATSOEVER.
