Why To Help Others ?

So if this life is spent obliging others you will not lose out in any way at all, nor will you experience difficulties of any sort; whatever desires you have will all be fulfilled. Whereas, if you strive to fulfill your desires, none of them will get fulfilled. Because that way will not allow you to fall asleep at night. These wealthy businessmen are not able to sleep at all. They cannot sleep for three to four days on end. That is because they have simply cheated and robbed whoever they could.

So have an obliging nature. When you are going somewhere, ask around in your neighborhood, “I am going to the post office, do you have any letters that need to be mailed?” Is there a problem with asking around in this manner as you go? Someone may say, “I don’t trust you.” Then reply, “Sir, I apologize for that.” However, for those who trust you, at least take their letter.

This was in fact a childhood attribute of mine that I am talking about, an obliging nature. And at age twenty-five ve my entire friend circle used to call me ‘super-human’.

Who can be considered a human? It is one whose interactions of give and take are mutual. He gives happiness to those who give happiness to him, and he does not hurt those who hurt him. One who interacts like this is considered to have humanity.

Then the one who takes away the happiness of others falls into beastliness. The one who conducts his worldly interactions as a human being, by giving happiness and taking happiness retains the human life-form, whereas, the one who gives away his own happiness for others to enjoy attains a celestial life-form; a ‘super-human’. When one gives away his own happiness to someone else, to someone who is miserable, he attains a celestial life-form.
