Serving Society Quotes

“You may be a teacher, you may be a janitor, you may be a waitress, you may be a scientist, preacher or artist –whatever you are, whatever you do, do it for the people – so that those who have nothing, can learn to walk again, smile again, live again, because of you.”

“If you do a few good deeds and then say, that's it, I've completed my daily quota of good deeds, then that's not goodness, but a mockery of goodness. When a river flows does it ever count the villages it passes by and then say that's it, I have completed my daily quota of providing people water - it doesn't, it simply keeps flowing, without keeping count of how many people are blessed by its water. Be like the river my friend and do good without keeping count.”

“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.”

“We don't need non-attachment, we need more attachment, attachment with the suffering of others - attachment with the miseries of others - attachment with the sweat and tears of others - attachment with the smile of others - we need attachment with each and every depraved soul on this earth. When you've fostered such attachment, that day I'll call you human - that day I'll call you alive.”

“Sonnet of Rulers The only people who'll rule the world, Are the ones who want to rule not a being. The only people to inherit the earth, Are the ones who want to inherit nothing. The only people who win hearts, Are those who give all without question. The only people who become family to all, Are those who walk without assumption. The only people who never die, Are those who happily die for others. The only people who are the happiest, Are those who have no trace of selfish desires. Selfishness is synonym for suffering and misery. Joy is just a byproduct of service to humanity.”

“Not politician - not soldier - not scientist - not philosopher - not a professional of any kind - but a human being - a human being with the fire of accountability - that's what the world is desperately craving for. And that human - that majestic, life-giving, torch-bearing, vigorous human - is not going to fall from the sky - for it is nobody else but you.”

“I hold all of you a traitor till you start doing your part for those in misery. What gives you the right to call yourself a human, till you feel for the humans - what gives you the right to call yourself a human, till you think for the humans - what gives you the right to call yourself a human, till you act for the humans!”

“Often pastors as well as my fellow scientists ask me - are you a believer or non-believer - I smile and reply, all I care about is to abolish the barriers that people have raised among themselves. I work to create living Christs in every field of society to take care of every corner of the world.”

“No messiah is coming to save us or our world, it is us who have to save ourselves as well as our world. We are our own responsibility - our world is our responsibility - our people are our responsibility. And anybody who takes the responsibility of their society on their shoulder, is a patriot - such a person is the real Christ, real Buddha, real Naskar of their time.”

“When you can't live a day without helping others - when you can't breathe without watching someone smile because of you - when you can't even taste the food until you know that someone is able to put food on the table for their family because of your kindness - that day you'd know what it is to be human.”

“Love not Allegiance (A Sonnet) If I am remembered O Soldier of Destiny, Remember me with love not allegiance. If you place me on the altar of your heart, Make it not exclusive but exude acceptance. When the darkness around bothers you, Bask all you want in my timeless light. But when you see others in darkness, Forget your needs and serve with delight. My heart will never leave your backbone, So long as you have a cell crying for others. I will receive honor and my highest reward, When you annihilate yourself to wipe their tears. I will keep burning through you for eternity, Your actions will herald the victory of humanity.”

“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.”
