Is this what I really want?<\/p>\n
Yes. But the reason is this. What I really want is Love. Love. Divine Will. Surrendering to it.<\/p>\n
When I do this, it immensely helps me. It wants to express through me. It overflows.<\/p>\n
That is why I want to help other people. Not for helping’s sake. No. It is because Love overflows.<\/p>\n
It is only because of Love I want to help other people. When there is no Love, I have no desire to help. I am in need<\/p>\n
so terribly, that I cannot think of helping others. I am ailing. I am yearning. I am suffering then.<\/p>\n
The word help does not mean anything if I am not feeling Love myself. It does not exist other than to remind me of my need for Love.<\/p>\n
Because Love is the truest help. Not giving food, not giving money, not giving time. None of them actually helps others. You can give food to a person for 1000 years, and not help him a bit if there is no Love in your giving. It will be just mechanical when there is no Love.<\/p>\n
Yes. Now the next blog post. How will I help people?[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
