In the life
of Sri Ramakrishna there was a doctor in
a certain village. Whenever Ramakrishna would see the
doctor, the
doctor was always with a heavy face, sad. Ramakrishna said to him
“Why are you sad, doctor?” He said “I don’t know. I come to
you. Give me a solution to be happy. Give me a way that I can feel
the Love of God and be happy.” Ramakrishna said “Look, doctor, I
know every day you have hundreds of people, you charge them lots
of money, but even that doesn’t make you happy. So do one thing:
one day a week, give service for free.” After some
time, the doctor came to Dakshineshwar again and Ramakrishna
saw him; he was very joyful and very happy, radiating so much joy
and happiness. Ramakrishna said “Doctor, you look different
today. What is the secret of it?” Then he said to him “Well, I took your
advice and I started to give one day a week, free of charge,
service to everybody. The more I do it, the more I feel to do it more and
more, because this brings me great joy inside and this great joy
doesn’t finish.” Like that,
there are many examples that can be given about how service
brings the union of the mind, the heart and the spirit and makes you
whole. Don’t be scared to serve, in whatever way you can,
however you can, whenever you can, because you don’t know when God
can come to you and in what form He can come to you. Feel
blessed and feel the Love of God!
