Je Je Shri, Dandvat – Jai Gokulke Chandki! A colleague of mine shared a story of how her group held a complimentary general skills workshop for a group of children. At the end of the class they handed out cards with the words, ‘Pay it forward’ printed on them so that each child could go back into the community, perform a good deed and keep the goodness flowing

Ravikantji,

You are making perfect sense and and I understand what you mean.

Your doubt would be valid if we considered that by doing something for others we help ‘them’.
However, do keep in mind that by doing a good deed, the person who is helped the most is ‘ourselves’.
It is me, myself who is filled with positive emotions & thoughts when I do something for others.
Remember, what goes around comes around – that is the law of Karma.

Please feel free to ask questions. Ashirvad.

Pranam Anandji,

I don’t know whether I should ask you this question or not, but I was just curious, what should be our goal as a human ? For example- We have many conflicts in our mind like whether we should help the helpless or not, if GoD has made them like that, why should we go ahead and help them. or, Can’t we keep on helping ourselves only rather than thinking to help others?

I meant that Is our goal to be social or to be self-centered…? I don’yt know whether I made any sense or not…If yes …please reply…Bye…
