Doing good to others out of compassion is good, but the Seva (service) of all beings in the spirit of the Lord is better.
If you want any good to come, just throw your ceremonials overboard & worship the living God, the Man-God-every being that wears a human form.
Let me help my fellowmen - that is all I seek.
Those who want to help mankind must take their own pleasure and pain, name and fame, and all sorts of interests, and make a bundle of them and throw them into the sea and then come to the Lord. This is what all the masters said and did.
The national ideals of India are renunciation and service. Intensify her in these channels and the rest will take care of itself.
God is present in every Jiva, there is no other God besides that. Who serves Jiva serves God indeed.
Throw away everything, even your own salvation, and go and help others. Let all other vain gods disappear for the time from our minds. This is the only god that is awake, our own race, everywhere his hands, everywhere his feet, everywhere his ears; he covers everything.
Your ancestors gave up the world for doing great things.
Bold are my words & let me repeat that it is the greatest privilege in our lives that we are allowed to serve the Lord in all these shapes.
