Social Service Daily Reflections, Monday, March 18, 2013 Social Service Daily Reflections, Monday, March 18, 2013 One abhyasi asked "Babuji, what is real social service?" He said, "What Lalaji taught us to do – when I can calm a troubled mind, that is social service." Because from that calm mind will spread calmness...So he said the highest social service is to bring calmness to society through calmness to individuals. Taken from the book "HeartSpeak 2007 (1st edn., 2008)", Chapter "Equilibrium, Science and Consciousness", pg. 94, by Revered Chariji
