Passage 48

In English

Today is an auspicious day. Get ready to go to the villages and serve the people. Distribute clothes to them. Give saris to the women, dhotis to the men, shirts and pants to the children and gowns for the small girls. Is it not shameful on your part if you wear good dresses and see your brothers and sisters in rags? Give them good dresses and keep them happy. You will derive great joy when you see happiness on their faces. Strive for equality in society and live together. Only then the society will prosper. Even the government has undertaken so many activities. But we serve the poor for our self-satisfaction, which leads to self-sacrifice and ultimately will lead to self-realisation. So, you start service activities on the first of November.
