When a saint moves on the track of God Knowledge and the deeds, acts as per God-knowledge, puts into practice the principles of spirituality and thus find salvation not only for himself but even for those who come in contact with him. This is a great service to humanity. Lord Jesus Christ gives an example. He says, suppose we have placed a lamp in our room and we are moving without any difficulty. This cannot be described as service to others. We are using the light for our movement in the room and saving us for any kind of stumbling. This will be converted into a service to others only when we place the lamp in the window, so that there is light not only inside the room but outside also where it is dark and in this light even the people who are passing by do not stumble. It means the others will also receive comfort and be delighted all the time. Such a selfless service to humanity is provided by saints alone. Such people who devote themselves to the service of humanity do not care for their own comforts or their own assets. They spend their life while doing good to others.

When a child is born, there is no symbol to indicate that it belongs to a particular religion or caste. This can, of course, be true in relation to the animals and birds. Our eyes can recognize them and point out whether it is cow, a goat, a camel or it is an elephant. But the distinction of man is only that he is a man. That is why man has been treated as superior to others. It is the same divine light that dwells in every human being. It is, therefore, essential that after taking birth as a human being one must behave like a human being. But what is happening? Today we like to be known as Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs or Christians, but not human beings. You ask someone, “Who are you?” You will get the reply, “I am a Hindu; I am a Muslim”. Nobody will tell you that he is a human being. We are anxious to prove ourselves to be a good Hindu, a good Muslim, a good Sikh and for this even if we are require to kill someone, we are prepared to do so. The question arises whether before trying to be a good Hindu, a good Muslim or a good Sikh, did we become a good human being or not? If we are not a good human being, we are not a good Hindu, not a good Christian, not a good Muslim and not a perfect Sikh. The first thing we must imbibe is goodness. If the foundation is good, whatever structure we raise, will be durable, beautiful. Similarly, we can hope to receive good fruits provided we sow the appropriate seeds.
