THE GREATEST SERVICE DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

"Your own self-realization is the greatest service you can render the world." ~ Sri Ramana Maharshi

There is no doubt about this; in terms of conviction. This is because; self realization is the pinnacle or perfection; of human development and achievement. It is the core of ultimate bliss. It is the soul of universal aspiration; even though it is not obviously articulated; and just silently throbs in every heart.

But the "self realization" is "known" to us in merely; terms of the two words; self and realization. We do not have any idea about its experience. Thus we "know" it by its absence, by its lack and thus; by missing it! This is; like "knowing water" by virtue of thirst!

Hence; most of the saints, prophets and especially Shri Sadguru Gondavlekar Maharaj have advised us; to go on rendering the world; the "service" at present; easily possible for us; in the form of; practice and promotion of NAMASMARAN (jap, jikra, jaap, sumiran, simaran i.e. remebranace of self) and its globally benevolent; pivotal and powerful role; in holistic renaissance!

This "service" will "promote" us; in the course of time; to realize self; and enable us to "render the world; the "greatest service; !
