The lesser your cravings for your desires to get fulfilled, the more your desires get fulfilled.

The lesser your cravings for your desires to get fulfilled, the more your desires get fulfilled. 
 -Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

The mere presence of the sun brings all the activity in the world. In the same way, your mere presence is a service, is the goal. There is no gain, no loss, no purpose, no defeat.

Everything that you have – power, beauty, money, appearance, voice, they are all meant to be put to good use, for the service of others. Then, you find life will be so fulfilling.

If you keep doing your practices, meditation, satsang and service, you can make yourself feel comfortable in any place. ​​We should not have aversion or craving towards anything. That is real Yoga.

When you are helping somebody, you don’t see them as something outside. See them as a part of you and so you help them. That’s a classic form of service. You are not doing service because they are separate, or they are suffering. You are doing because you can’t but do it because they are part of you.

If you think, "I am doing a service", while you are serving, it is no good. Service should be part of your nature. When you do something for yourself, do you call it service? Do you say, "I'm serving myself?" No, because it's such a natural instinct. Any thing you do to your own children, do you call it service? You consider it your duty. So as a human being, our duty or our nature is to help others.

Why someone is not doing some service activity? Maybe they are stressed, they are tensed. So, if you are unhappy yourself, you won’t be motivated to do something for someone else. So, first you have to find the peace.

People who follow pleasure alone get ruined, but people who follow commitment in life, those who do service towards others, will surely shine out.

Injustice is there. It is your work to turn it around. Whether it is for service or justice, you should work in groups. This is very important. As sangha (group), you can achieve more.

You want enlightenment? You want to see God? Do service and just relax!

When many bristles are put together to make a broom, they are far more effective in sweeping a large hall than they would have been individually. Similarly, as sangha (group), you can achieve more. Whether it is for service or justice, you should work in groups.
