Gurunathar’s Divine Message Moolam Pooja 09-03-2010
Our eyes can become role model for us. They can see everything around us and yet not see themselves. Similarly you must always live for the good of others before looking to your own interests. This is a recommended practice. Still, in this grand cycle of years(Kali Yuga) it is not the norm. Each of you is lost in self-centeredness not knowing how to step out of it. ‘Why is this so?’ you may wonder. This is mainly because you believe that you can survive only if you live the way everyone around you lives. CHANGE THIS ATTITUDE – step out of selfishness and learn to concern yourselves about others.
My advice is that the first step towards this is to perform ‘Anna Dhanam’. I emphasize that it is indeed a great deed to appease hunger. Increase this step by step. Also perform other good deeds without any expectations.Even when you do good without a motive you need to guard against even a shred of self satisfaction (ego) that gives you a feeling of “I am doing this”. I have observed this in some minds. And it must be completely eradicated. It is God who gives us everything. None of this is ours. Always remember this.
