Karma Yoga Gives Joy

Do you expect anything from your small son, if you do him something? In a similar manner
you will have to work for others also without expecting anything. You will have to expand and think
that this whole world is your own Self.
It gives you a little pain in the beginning, because you have never worked up to this time in
this line of selfless and disinterested service. When you have tasted a bit of the Bliss of selfless
service, you can never leave it. The force of service will induce you to work more with great zeal
and enthusiasm.
You will begin to feel that this whole world is manifestation of God. You will gain immense
inner strength and purity of heart. Your heart will be filled with sympathy, mercy and pure love.
Your spirit of selfless service and self-sacrifice will grow ad infinitum.
