If one is able to perform one seva well, and then there is a chance or scope for another seva, then in that, he can... He can do it. It is good. It is called double sadhana. So there is no problem in that. If one is able to perform one seva well, then he has to keep in mind that he can perform that seva with the same devotion. Under the guise of seva, devotion has to be developed in Maharaj. And in the world, the feeling of desirelessness has to be developed. More than seva, skill is not of much importance. If by that, devotion for God is not developed. No matter how much discourse I do. So it does not mean that by discourse, I will get something great, I will attain something. But if by that discourse, I have developed love for God, if by that discourse, I have made some devotee of God happy, then his blessing will be helpful to me. I did seva according to my skill, many times there is a monopoly, such skill is not possessed by anyone. And I used seva, my whole life I used seva. I used that skill. But if nothing happened to please God. And if nothing happened to please any devotee of God. Then it is of no use. Maharaj, in Mangrol, there was Meghji Sukhadia, he was a samadhi-wala. He used to take out puris from the pan with his hands and all that. But he fed everyone, but he did not feed Muktanand Swami and others. He fed everyone else, the whole village. He fed everyone up to the last level. But he did not feed them. So it was of no use to him. So whether the qualities are of high quality or lower quality, it does not mean that. It should be useful to God, and we should have a desire, a burning desire to be useful to God, that how can I be useful. Let me be of some use to Maharaj. Let me be of use to Maharaj's work. If one has such a burning desire, then his causal body undergoes transformation. It changes. And it comes along with him. It does not change, it does not get destroyed either. It just changes. It changes. So whatever we do here, it is useful to him. But if we do it with such connection, it is more useful. Otherwise, who knows when it will change on its own. Sometimes even the nature increases, it increases right here. So if we do not pay attention, it increases. To keep the feeling of a certain lifestyle, does it happen by practice? What does he say? To live in a certain lifestyle, that is to keep a certain feeling, does it happen by practice or? It happens only by practice. One has to plan. Otherwise, these times and circumstances are such that they throw us somewhere or the other. All these activities of the world are such that they deepen the feeling for God. Our body-consciousness is also such that it deepens the feeling for God. All our needs and all the transactions of this world, they are not very helpful to the feeling for God. They only deepen it. And our body-pride is also like that. It is not such that it lets the feeling for God remain till the end. If we are white and God comes and tells us that you are black, then what? Then we become red instead of black. So it does not remain the same. So in that, whose role is it said to be? Whose role is it said to be? It is said to be the role of body-consciousness. Don't those storytellers say, that a buffalo was walking and its owner hit it with a stick, so I felt very sad, so which quality of mine was expressed? Which quality was expressed? Maternal love. The boy said maternal love. So all this is such a role. So in God, all these activities that we do, we do seva, but even while doing seva, it does not let love for God develop. So in that, maternal love is manifested. So our body-consciousness does not let all that happen. So leaving all that aside, if one has a burning desire that how can I please God or how can I be of use to God, then all these activities are for that only. Even small activities can be of use. For one's own liberation, God, in Gita, said the whole Gita for that reason only. Arjun says that I will become a sannyasi and meditate. God says that you do not have to meditate, you do not have to become a sannyasi.
