MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 2036
Radhe krishna,
Have a blessedc day
PSEUDO-ASPIRANTS
Swami SivanandaI have seen several devotees in all my experiences in the spiritual line—devotees who chant "Hare Rama, Hare Krishna" day in and day out. These devotees will never approach a sick man, even while he is in a dying condition, and give him a cup of milk or water and ask: "What do you want, brother? How can I serve you?" Out of curiosity they will be looking at him from a distance. Can there be an iota of real benefit in their devotion or meditation? A living Narayan in the form of the sick patient is in a dying state; they have not got the heart to go and serve him or even speak a few kind and encouraging words, when the patient's life is trembling in the balance. How can they hope for God-realization when they have not got the eyes to see God in all beings and serve Him in the needy?
Your neighbour has been created by the Lord in order that you might love him, serve him and thus grow in divinity. The Lord Himself walks in the garb of the poor and the sick in order to give you an opportunity to serve Him and thus evolve spiritually. Therefore, serve all. Love all.
