Guest guest Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 "It is critical to serve others, to contribute actively to others' well-being. I often tell practitioners that they should adopt the following principle: regarding one's own personal needs, there should be as little involvement or obligation as possible. But regarding service to others, there should be as many involvements and obligations as possible. This should be the ideal of a spiritual person." --- the Dalai Lama One way for us to be involved in service to others is through our Devi Mandir Prayer Club. As Swamiji tell us, "Whenever we act attentively, without selfishness, efficiently, for the purpose of demonstrating the sincerity of our devotion, we are praying. Please join us in prayer." According to Sri Ramakrishna, "Saturday is sweet and sacred." Isn't it wonderful that we join in prayer on a "sweet and sacred" day? Let's all plan ahead and make a space in our busy schedules to "act attentively, without selfishness" this coming Saturday. Let's make an obligation to serve others by chanting the Maha Mrityunjaya not only for our loved ones but for the peace and welfare of everyone in the world. Thank you for your past and your continuing prayer seva. Jai Maa! Jai Shiva! Jai Swamiji! ***************************************************** Mail - Easier than ever with enhanced search.
