It is selfishness that has

contracted your heart deplorably.

Selfishness is the bane of society.

It clouds one's understanding. It is petty-mindedness. It is the root cause of human suffering.

Real spiritual progress starts with selfless service. Serve the mendicants, devotees and the sick. Serve the poor with love and affection. The Lord is seated in the hearts of all. The spirit of service must enter into your very bones, cells, tissues and nerves.

The reward is incalculable.

Practice and feel the cosmic expansion and infinite bliss. Tall talk and idle gossip will not do.

Evince intense enthusiasm arid zeal for work.
