Inspirational Note...

You must ask only one question: “How can I become like Swami?”

That is the end goal of all your lives efforts – to become like Me – to be perfect. Yogah karmasu kaushalam – yoga is perfection in every action. What must be done to become like Swami? That is the question you must ask yourself all the time. It will be possible only if you remember the first thing that Swami has just spoken about: “What would Swami do in this situation? How would Swami think in this situation? What would Swami say in this situation?” If you follow that, you will become like Swami.
 
When you try to act more like Swami, first you will pretend, but finally you will end up being what you are trying to be – Swami. Pretend that the Swami within you is the one who is talking, thinking and doing. You will then tend to become like that. Every thought, word and action will become more like Swami’s. Finally, you will end up becoming like Swami. It is as simple as that.

Transformation
Service to Others
Service to others had never been a primary goal in my life before. Most of the time I would only focus on my studies, hanging out with my friends, and enjoy the care-free world that I have lived.
During my Seva activities I met numerous beautiful souls who were tremendously dedicated to Seva . They have become my family and have given me more and more opportunity for Seva . I believe that when you start engaging in Seva activities your problems, worries, fear, and doubt had already been taken care of.
