Serving People Quotes

“Society teaches you to find joy in the benefit of the self, as a result everyone grows up to be miserable, for the more you seek joy for yourself the more joy runs away from you, but the moment you forget the self and walk down the path of service to benefit others, joy comes running after you.”

“Cast aside all caution from sleeping creatures, for they know not the meaning of destiny - to them destiny is out of their hands, so they shiver in imagination all their life - they make their own prison of misery and insecurity and die in it every day - but you my friend, you who is a human, you who is alive and not dead, you who is awake with not practicality but responsibility - not with insecurity but with love - are not bound by destiny, for destiny is fantasy invented by the weak - those who are strong and determined make their own reality out of their blood and sweat.”

“Jesus died about two thousand years ago - Buddha died about five hundred years before that - and so will I. But our ideas of liberty, conscience and character will never perish from the face of this earth, so long as there is even one human being awake enough to see the society as their own family.”

“What does the river, the trees, the sun care about the concept of God - their sole purpose is to sustain life on earth - and so is mine. Christ made his sacrifice for his love for society, I have made my sacrifice for my love for society, and I believe strongly more than anything else, that this tradition of sacrifice will continue through many more Christs and Naskars, so long as there is human suffering on earth.”

“Life Lived for Others (A Sonnet) Torrents of joy have brought me salvation, Bearing jewels of inclusion and unification. My mind and my whole being have gone lost, Into the rising tides of humanizing assimilation. Finally serenity has arrived at my doorstep, When I opened I found the bridge to others. Defying all agony and selfish insecurities, I discovered the supreme sentience in their cheer. Their joy is my joy and their worry is my worry, It is my vow upon the sacred pyre of conscience. I stand ready to become dust if it is needed, I am my gift to them, their smiles my recompense. There is no point in living for the shallow desires, Cause life is not lived till it's lived for others.”

“My body is a temple and each cell in it holds the image of my God - my humankind. Whatever I do I do for my God - whatever I create I create to serve my God - whatever I discover I discover to aid my God. My work is my offering to my God - my life is my offering to my God, for I have nothing grander to offer than my life.”

“Once you stand up against all odds to lift up your society, with pure, uncorrupt, unconditional love, even the mountains will bow before your determination, the oceans will come rushing to wash the dusts and thorns of your feet, and the wind will create torrents of breeze to soothe you.”

“For the first time in human history, let’s rewrite the destiny of humanity with our own active conscience, instead of with loyalty towards a certain pompous ideology – let’s slogan for humanity’s interest, and not the interest of a certain ideology, institution, religion or political party – let’s give ourselves to the tireless service of our kind, trumping all toil, agonies and desperation.”
