On the spiritual path, the first step is selfless service. Through selfless service, one can realize the Divinity that is all this creation.
Sevā (selfless service) in all its forms, all the world over, is primarily a spiritual discipline for mental clean-up. Without the inspiration given by that attitude, the urge is bound to ebb and grow dry; or it may meander into pride and pomp. Just think for a moment. Are you serving God? Or is God serving you? When a pilgrim stands waist deep in the Ganga, takes in his palms the sacred water and, reciting an invocatory formula, pours the water as an offering to the Deity—an arpañ (offering) as he calls it—what he has done is only poured Ganga into Ganga. When you offer milk to a hungry child or a blanket to a shivering brother or sister on the pavement, you are but placing a gift of God into the hands of another gift of God. You are reposing the gift of God in a repository of the Divine Principle. God serves. He allows you to claim that you have served. Without his will, not a single blade of grass can quiver in the breeze. Fill every moment with gratitude to the Giver and the Recipient of all gifts.
With these divine thoughts in her heart, our volunteer Mrs.V.VenkataLakshmi has come forward to extend the support of LAASA to an orphan B.Tech student V.SarojaYamini whose parents died of HIV and her brother fighting against a deadly disease. Her grandmother who was a 70+ working as a sweeper and getting bread to their bellies.
LAASA provided educational assistance to this most deserving B.Tech student at Gudiveedhi, Srikakulam. Love can be compensated only with love. We the LAASA always feels that we serve the human who is God, in deed. Our attitude is the instrument; our love is the way we implement. Thank you dear reader, we the LAASA will certainly tell more beautiful good deeds to your kind heart.
