Self Refinement is the Noblest Service to the Society


Mind is a deity of highest order. The scriptures have eulogized it as Prajapati (the Creator). Vedanta says that every person has his / her own free world; and it has been created by his mind. A person sees this world according to his belief / devotion, emotions, and desires. If one's viewpoint is changed, the life pattern will also change accordingly.

The worship of this deity is of one kind only — it should be persuaded to follow the righteous path, adopt a right viewpoint. If this service of the mind is done, then even a common man can become a great man. One can see the visible miracles of this deity's blessings. There is no doubt in the validity of this statement — Whatever we think, so we do; and whatever we do, so we accomplish (or suffer)'. It is the mind who is our guide; wherever it takes, body goes there. If this guide is unrighteous, it will trap you in the painful web of problems; and if it is righteous, then the gains of peace and prosperity are certain.
