The Special Importance of this Human Life
Questioner: What should a person do in order to not
waste his human life?
Dadashri: Just by continuous inner contemplation of, ‘Let
this precious human life not go to waste,’ one will have fulfilled
the goal of his life. Instead of worrying about this, people worry
about money. You do not have any control over your efforts,
but you do have control over doing deep inner intent (bhaav).
Any effort made is under the control of another entity. However,
it is your inner intent (bhaav) that will bring results. In reality,
even your inner intent (bhaav) is not under your control, but if
you ‘do’ the intent, then there will be a result.
Questioner: What is so important about human life?
Dadashri: The purpose of the human life is service to
others. The life of the people of India is for attaining liberation
through the knowledge of the Self (absolutism). For everyone
else, the purpose of life is to be of service to others (paropkar).
Service to others means that you use your mind, your speech
and your actions for others. One serves others through the
medium of the mind, speech and body. One may ask what is to
become of him if he serves others in this way. What will he be
left with?
