Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Hare Krsna Serving others with our possessions, will remove our attachment, making us free from attachment and egotism. "Nirmamoha, Nirahankarah, " Let us serve also our peers and those junior to us. Elevating the youth by teaching them about virtuous conduct, is also service, as it will give them the appropriate training and tools to be happy through out their lives. Let us provide good training to all youth, so that they may become good and virtuous. Mothers if they desire can lead the world to blessedness. The children are initially placed on their laps, fed by them etc. Therefore the mother's nature affects her children. By giving the children good training in childhood, mothers can make them very responsible individuals and good citizens of the world, and in turn improve the country and world at large. The influence and training provided in childhood, lasts forever. Unlike men, women have selfless maternal power bestowed by God. If they make the right use of this power, they can be very easily free of all attachment. Also, let us be generous and benevolent in the use of things. Let us serve the poor, the sick and the distressed who suffer from shortages, as their heart is the abode of God. Therefore, by serving them, we are serving God. Let us not have the feeling of hatred, malice and jealousy for them. Let individual excellence, not become the reason for pride and feeling of superiority. We have become excellent, due to people inferior to us. Therefore the rich should make the best possible use of their money, by helping the poor. It is only because of the poor, that the rich have received the privilege of being called rich. It is the poor, that have given this honor and happy feeling to the rich. Therefore it is the duty of the rich to serve them. Similarly, respect and obey the elders and respectable people, as they have brought us up, protected us from harm, given us education, knowledge, learnings and wisdom. Doing this one will become free from their debt, free from conceit and learn the art of living in the world. Be a better pen pal. Text or chat with friends inside Mail. See how.
