Give and Do not Look Back

On his return from US & Europe trip, Swamiji one day arranged a grand feast to the Santhal workers of the Belur Math. He fed them sumptu­ously. Never before had they tasted such delicious food. They were much pleased. Swamiji remarked at their rejoice, "I am blessed today to have served my God".

God only is pleased when we please others by offering food or other service with the spirit of worship.

It is self-defeating to ask anything in return of service. Swamiji wrote, "Give and do not look back". The love that only gives and does not expect anything in return grows day by day to become ultimately boundless.

The main theme of my life is to take the message of Sanatana Dharma to every home and pave the way for launching, in a big way, the man-making programme preached and envisaged by great seers like Swami Vivekananda. - Mananeeya Eknathji
