In rendering selfless service,
one should not think that their
services should be confined to
the poor and the destitute.
There is no need to make any
artificial distinction between the rich and the
poor in the sphere of service. What matters
is the service done to a person who needs it.
Your concern should only be with what kind of
service is required, when and where,
and not the status or position
of the person concerned.
The primary requisite is a genuine spirit of
love and camaraderie. If there is no feeling
of kindness and compassion, whatever service
that is done becomes an artificial
exercise, done for getting publicity or recognition.
Ostentation in rendering service is harmful
as it will only inflate the ego.
