37. ATMIC UNITY & SERVICE “ The first step in the inquiry into the nature of the Atma (‘Atmavichar’) is the practice of the truth that whatever gives you pain gives pain to others and whatever gives you joy gives joy to others. Develop this kind of reciprocal relationship between you and others, and gradually you will reach the stage where your heart thrills with joy when others are joyful and shedders in pain when others are sad. This is a sign of great spiritual advance. ‘ Love All’, ‘Serve All’ - Service - The Highest Sadhana - not a Means, It is the End
