Selfless Service
Karma Yoga prepares the mind for the reception of Light and
Knowledge. It is also an effective instrument for the attainment of purity of
the mind and the heart. It removes all obstacles in the way of oneness and
unity. Therefore do selfless service constantly and lovingly.
Saintliness
Self-Examination
A man in his ego-centric attitude sits in judgement on
others conduct and ways, while, in himself are innumerable defects and
frailties which need to be scrutinised and eradicated. We have a habit of
ignoring our own weaknesses but see the same in others magnified as through a
microscope. Let that same criticism aimed at others be directed towards ourselves.
Let the pride with which one is obsessed, be laid in the dust.
Non-violence
There is no penance like the practice of “Ahimsa” or
Non-violence; there is no vow like the vow of speaking the Truth; there is no
discipline like that of controlling the senses. Mental renunciation is the
first and most essential condition for the practice of non-violence. He who
renounced desire for wealth, name and fame can practise non-violence.
