Service Of Mankind Is Above All
Service of mankind is above all. Now to make it an aim is our sacred duty. Your service will start giving results for your services, depending on the state of your innermost heart – kingly [rich], devilish [profane] or Godly [sacred]! Even Shumbh and Nishumbh also prayed to Lord Shiva and for a very long time, but their goal was wrong. Their goal was materialistic that I should rule the world, make others bonded labours and everything should go my way? A wrong goal was selected. That’s why they had to die. Shumbh & Nishumbh, later called Devils.
Do the service, but its goal should be excellent. The Almighty has been elevating due to the services only. Has been resurrecting the seers and prophets. Lord Shiva is a Yogi [A Meditator]. But he became Gopi [girl lost in devotion] became a female and did a great service of God in man’s appearance, then only attained the highest place. Now he holds the power of emancipation. He can liberate, whomsoever, he likes to. Such a big right has been given to him due to his endless services. Not only for his services, but for his companies of good people. By the dint of devotion Saint Tulsi Das, due to devotion only Meera Bai, Sahajo Bai, Karma Bai etc. all the saints were elevated.
Jai Srimannarayana!
Summary
Service to mankind is considered the highest form of duty, and its effectiveness depends on the purity of one’s intentions.

The examples of Shumbh and Nishumbh illustrate the consequences of having a materialistic and selfish goal, as their wrong intentions led to their downfall, despite their devotion to Lord Shiva.

The narrative emphasizes that the quality of one’s service and the intention behind it determine the spiritual outcome, aligning oneself with divine principles.
