If chanting the Name of God has 5% importance in spiritual practice, then attending satsang has 30% importance and rendering Service to the Absolute Truth (satsēvā) has 100% importance. This shows the importance of the Service to the Absolute Truth (or the God Principle) as a means to facilitate one’s spiritual progress. When one initially starts spiritual practice one is more concerned about one’s own spiritual practice. So even though one may pray a lot, meditate or chant - the thoughts are predominantly about one’s own progress. As one experiences the benefits of spiritual practice, one realises the profound impact that Spirituality can have on other peoples’ life. This invariably leads to a seeker investing more time in serving the spread of Spirituality while continuing to focus on his or her own spiritual practice. God too wants humankind to progress spiritually because then Righteousness prevails on Earth and evil reduces. When a seeker serves the mission for the spiritual progress of humankind, God showers him or her with His blessings. Thus a seeker can grow rapidly. In this section we cover all the various aspects and nuances of how to serve the spread of Spirituality as per one’s capacity so as to be a better seeker.
