Meaning: The line of Athervaved 10/8/44 has given instruction for us that — "God patiently serves the living beings without selfishness. Those who follow these qualities of God, they always enjoy bliss y becoming free form fear.
Message: The Supreme Father, God has made this vast creation. He only is its controller, creator, is present everywhere and provides movement to it. Has he made this tremendous effort for Himself? He is always 'akaam' (i.e. without desire). Always complete, always whole, undivided, immovable, and immortal, without fear, that God is always sober. He has made the creation of this universe for the welfare of living beings like us. He has no personnel interest; even then he has filled this world with abundance of various materials keeping in mind the interest of all.
Helping and obliging others is a great quality of God. We can obtain God's grace by adopting this quality of God. The meaningfulness of this human body also lies in that only. There is no religion comparable to helping or serving others. One whose mind is involved in helping others for him nothing is difficult to achieve in this world. Only they are called saints in whose minds, speech and deeds, the sentiment of helping others is present.
There is great importance of yagya in Vedic religion. Yagya is necessary for the celibate, for the house-holder and for the vanprasthi (one who is a house-holder but who has given up the material activities of the world). Yagya does not mean merely offering oblations of butter-oil and other things into the holy-fire. That is one meaning of yagya. The wider meaning lies in making the entire life like yagya. The real objective of yagya is to dedicate one's capacities and insight by giving up one's all facilities for making other's capacities and insight by giving up one's all facilities for making others' lives fragrant. Every man's aim should be to oblige others. Idanna mama' i.e. all this is not mine; it all belongs to God, the Supreme Father. With that sentiment we should serve others with our body, mind and money, and help others. This only should be the objective of our life.
Fie upon that body which did not observe religion, did not perform yagya and did not do any work of service or help to others? Nobody can be meaner than those, who having got this human life do not help others.
This excellent body which we have receive as compared to other animals, the blessing which God has given us of money, education, strength as compared to other men, what is it meant for? Is it only for our personal benefit? No, we should make its use for the good of others.
Everyday we should do some work of obliging others. It should be a part of our daily lives to 'show' the path to the blind, to those who have strayed from the moral path. Every deed of helping others is a step towards heaven. We should help others; oblige others if we wish to achieve heavenly joy and bliss.
Helping others is a sign of divinity of character.
Akaamo dheero amrutaha swayambhuhu
rasena trupto na kutashchanonaha
mrutyoraatamaanum
dheeramajarum yuvanum. (Athearvaved 10/8/44)
