THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
With regards to service, you must be clear on what is 'Rajasik' service and 'Satwik' service. You may go to clean streets, build roads, dig wells or build houses, and do them all as service to the community. You may also go to a hospital and visit patients. Doing service in the name of 'social work' is not real service. Satwik service is that which gives real happiness. It requires that you serve any and every person as an embodiment of the Divine. Divinity (Narayana) is present in two forms amongst all people â€" Wealthy (Lakshmi Narayana) or poor and needy (Daridra Narayana). A wealthy person may have any number of people to attend to them or serve them. But there would be no one to serve the destitute, weak and poor. Treating poor and needy people as Divine embodiments and serving them lovingly is Satwik service. (Divine Discourse, "My Dear Students", Vol 2, Chapter 3)

Yesterday's Thought
When you face troubles develop courage in yourself. Do not think, "Why should I be troubled like this?" Develop broadmindedness. Firmly believe that whatever happens is only for your good. Never forget that trouble, loss, illness, etc. come only for your good. Do not see bad in good. Always see good in bad. Light has much more value when there is darkness around. The value of joy is realized only when there are troubles. During the rainy and winter season, we want heat. In summer times, we look for coolness. You need both heat and cold, depending upon the circumstance. No matter in which situation you are, you must develop good feelings. You must start this habit of always having noble feelings from a very young age. Whatever thoughts and feelings you develop then, will last forever. Develop good thoughts and give up bad company. (Divine Discourse, "My Dear Students", Vol 2, Chapter 1)
