Meditation is the ultimate selfless act, because when you meditate you are sacrificing your puny personality for the universal reality.
The reason why we're not happy is because we believe consciously and subconsciously that we're separate from god, eternal awareness.
If we think of Albert Schweitzer, Ghandi, Lincoln, we feel that the people who were the most outstanding in the this world are those who have given the most of themselves.
If your life is based around your being comfortable, you're not very comfortable. You suffer quite a bit -- becuase in the realm of the senses there is not only pleasure, but there is pain.
You can tell a person's level of spiritual development simply by watching how much they give.
Meidtation and selfless giving must always go together. They work together to create immortality.
You could go outside today and have a glum face, or you could put a smile on your face and go out into the world, even though you don't feel like it -- that's selfless giving!
When you practice selfless giving, you're in balance and harmony with everything.
Each day try and go through the day with an attitude of being a servant to the world. You'll benefit the most -- and the way will be joyous.
