BEST WAY TO SERVE GOD

Best way to serve God is to love all, serve all.

One should regard love for God as the greatest treasure one can have. When you love God, you will have love towards all because the Divine is in everyone. Therefore bear in mind: Love all; serve all. The best way to serve God is to love all and serve all. Your devotion will get diluted if you entertain differences between people. Devotion to Raama or Krishna becomes meaningless if you do not practise their teachings. The worship of the Lord should be accompanied by leading a Godly life. Only the bliss can be experienced.
Today people carry on routine reading of scriptural texts like the Geetha or the Bible. This serves no purpose unless they lead pure and sacred lives. They should fill their hearts with love of God and share that love with others. There can be no greater demonic quality than hatred towards God.
The Divine is both protector and destroyer. For Prahlaadha, who was a staunch devotee, the Lord was a protector. To Hiranyakashipu (Prahlaadha's father), who hated God, the Divine became the destroyer.
God showers His grace according to one's deserts. He is the embodiment of Love. One's bad qualities prevent one from realising the grace of God. The fault lies with the individuals and not with God.
Hrishikesha sevanam Bhakthiruchyathe (Service to the Lord is called devotion). If you fill your heart with love of God, you will secure all powers. Therefore, live in love. Redeem your lives through love. Let love become your life-breath and the sole goal of your life.
