A beautiful story:🔗

Junaid continued walking.

The man gave up trying to ask further. After some distance, Junaid said, 'You will have to walk at least ten hours.'

The man was surprised and exclaimed, 'You could have said that before!' Junaid replied, 'How can I say before? I needed to watch your speed first. Then only I could tell you how long it will take to reach the capital.'

In the same way, the time it takes to realize also depends on your intensity. If you are intense enough, it does not need time to reach the Ultimate. Where you are, who are you is irrelevant. You can reach here and now.

Introduce the children about social service and intensity of Buddha. Be very clear if you want to really serve the society, the first thing you need is intensity in your purpose. Doing some social service should be like over flowing. You feel so full, you feel there is nothing more to be done , think I have so much of time, let me do some service to society, it is beautiful. Then it will lead you to happiness.

Some people don't feel relaxed within themselves, they can't sit quietly. There is so much of restlessness within them that they just want to do catharsis in some way. People with this type of attitude, even if they do some service they will be only putting their ego in front. They will only be torturing others.

They will not be serving others. Be very clear, many times you start doing things just for the sake of service, not feeling. You don't feel what you are doing, you don't feel the need of the other person. Service should be overflowing out of your being. It should never be done for some other purpose.

Buddha the enlightened master whatever he decided to follow, he did with complete, unwavering intensity. Whatever you may seek, integrate you energies completely and go for it. You will then see the universe open up to you completely
