Service is action which alone yields the fruit anywhere in world

 

Service is action and action alone – yields the fruit anywhere in world,

Service is Karma Yoga, the final step – preached by preacher Madhva.

Action results from interest, – when interest to see Bombay arises,

You will do all practical efforts – to reach the city and to enjoy it.

This interest is devotion preached by – Ramanuja as the second step.

Interest is created by the details – or knowledge of Bombay, hence,

Knowledge is basic first step, - Shankara preached it as Jnana Yoga.

Knowledge and devotion are promoters – like fertilizer and water for

Practical sacrifice, the seed that grows – into tree called as the service.

 

The tree alone yields fruit and not – water or fertilizer in any amount.

Service is sacrifice of work for saints, - it is called as Karma Sanyasa.

Hanuman sacrificed work for Rama, - saints can do work only to God.

Householders can sacrifice work - and also fruit of work, the wealth.

Gopikas, as householders sacrificed – butter, the fruit of their work.

Sacrifice of fruit of work is called as – Karmaphala Sanyasa by Gita.

Arjuna, a householder sacrificed work – by fighting with evil forces

To establish justice in God’s mission, - Arjuna was not for kingdom.

He refused to fight for his benefit, - fought for work of God only.

Rama masked His divinity by ignorance – like a pearl in iron box.

He did not preach anything, - He did not show any miracle.

Krishna was more intensive in test, – pearl was colored red.

Krishna appeared as thief and dancer, - did not preach Gita then.

He appeared as worst fellow – to test the top most sages.

Rama tested angels like Adishesha, – Krishna tested top sages.

Sages are of higher level – than angels in spiritualism always.

Shankara came for ordinary – human beings on this earth.

He expressed divinity through – preaching knowledge always.

Human beings cannot recognize – masked or colored pearl.

When Datta came as untouchable – with very bad qualities,

Even Shankara could not recognize Him, - it is only a message

To say that God covered by Maya – misleads even top most.
