Seva is Savior

The way to expand from individual to universal consciousness is to share others’ sorrow and joy. As you grow with time, your consciousness should also grow. When you expand in Knowledge over time, depression is not possible. Your innermost source is joy.
The way to overcome personal misery is to share universal misery! The way to expand personal joy is to share universal joy. Instead of thinking, ‘What about me? What can I gain from this world?’ Think, ‘What can I do for the world?’ When everyone comes from the point of contributing to society, you will have a Divine society.
We have to educate ourselves and culture our individual consciousness to expand with time in the Knowledge... from ‘What about me?’ to ‘What can I contribute?’
If you are not having good experiences in meditation, then do more seva – you will gain merit and your meditation will go deeper. When you bring some relief or freedom to someone through seva, good vibrations and blessings come to you.
Seva brings merit;
Merit allows you to go deeper in meditation;
Meditation brings back your smile.
