“If the senses are engaged in the service of God and His devotee, then the inner self is purified, and the sins that have been attached to the soul since time immemorial are destroyed. Serving others by seeing God in them can be a spiritual cleanse.” – GadhadaSection 1, Number – 8.
In a world where stress, negativity, and emotional burdens seem to accumulate endlessly, finding true inner peace can feel like an impossible task. Yet, Bhagwan Swaminarayan offers a profound yet simple solution—purity through service. By engaging the senses in the service of God and His devotees, the inner self undergoes a transformative purification, shedding the layers of sin and negativity that have clung to the soul since time immemorial.
Service is more than just an act of kindness; it is a spiritual cleanse. When one serves others with the perspective of seeing God in them, the heart naturally softens, and the weight of past regrets, resentments, and emotional wounds begins to dissolve. Every small act of service brings an opportunity to let go of the ego—the root cause of anger, pride, and sorrow—and embrace true humility.
Humility, in turn, is the antidote to the emotional turbulence that disturbs the soul. When the ego is surrendered, its accompanying emotions—anger, resentment, regret—fade away, leaving behind a purified heart. This purification process does not require elaborate rituals or complex philosophies; it is as simple as offering selfless service to God and His creation.
For those feeling emotionally drained or spiritually stagnant, the answer lies in taking a step toward serving others. Acts of kindness, no matter how small, become the means to cleanse the heart and uplift the soul. Whether it is through helping a friend in need, supporting a stranger, or dedicating time to a noble cause, every act of selflessness brings one closer to inner peace and divine grace.
So, who will you help today? In the service of others lies the secret to spiritual upliftment, and through it, one finds the purity of heart and soul that leads to true joy.
