OUR MOTO 

“SERVE MAN IS TO SERVE GOD”

It’s a crazy thing that people go around in search of God!!!! And we do spend a lot of money for the same. But the truth is that God is within ourselves. God never asks us for fruits and flowers at temple, mosques or church!!!..but we give all these things to Him. There are a lot of people who stay in the slums and in more poor situations in our country, running out of money. Why can’t we serve our people who are in hunger, who are in need, than keeping our money in resting condition in our prayer centres??

Yes!!! Serving others is the service to God…

The word ‘serve’ is derived from the Greek word, ‘diakoneo’ which inturn is derived from the Hebrew word, ‘abad’ which means ‘to serve’ or ‘work as a slave’. This word doesn’t show the power of authority, but it implies the real truth of humbleness.

“A servant is a person who submits his own will in order to please his master and others without any assurance of reward. It is absolutely obligated for service rendering to the master according to his will and wishes.”

Only the fruits of service will be eternal. We must constantly engage ourselves in service to others. God has given us this body for that purpose only. This body is not meant to be engaged in mere eating and drinking and thus wasting our valuable time. We must realize the truth that God has given us this body for serving others. There is nothing greater than service to humanity. Service to man is service to God. All great men have sanctified their life only by serving humanity.

We should serve all the people without any discrimination of age, sex, colour, caste, creed etc. The best example is the Life of Jesus Christ. In Mark 10 : 45, its said, “For even the Son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and give His life a ransom for many.”
