- Meditate
I see that I am calm, peaceful, without jealousy - very good.
But can I live in relation with others all the time and yet be inwardly watchful always?
- Give
God cannot be enthroned in a heart which has shrunk through selfishness.
- Serve
The Karma Yogi serves humanity but is ever conscious that he is serving God, ever conscious that his body and mind are but instruments in the hands of God.
- Meditate
Samadhi is real meditation.
Or you can say that all the three - concentration, meditation and samadhi combined is meditation.
- Serve
Every poor man his neighbour's responsibility.
Do not say it is his karma - rather see that it is your karma that has put you near him and then do something about it.
Only you can show him the love and sympathy which he needs just as much as he needs a loaf of bread.
