Q. 219: Gurudev, what is the role of service in order to have inner contentment?

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

You know, we should have a goal in life. My goal is to bring happiness to more and more people. If we sit and keep thinking of ourselves all the time, we’ll be depressed. We should see, ‘How can I be of service? How can I be of use to others?’ This thought is very useful. Very, very, very useful. Ya?

So, ‘Art of Living’ provides a platform for everyone to come together and do some service. You know, when the United Nations announced, ‘Stand up and take action’ - they wanted tree planting; ‘Art of Living’ volunteers have planted 55 million trees around the globe.

We all can jointly do some service activity. Reduce violence, reduce stress, create a sense of belongingness, and spread the positive vibration of love and peace. Shall we all do this together? Is everyone committed to doing this? (A resonating yes from the audience)
