TWO ALTERNATIVE LIFE PATHS

Mahatma Gandhi taught that only service done with joy can have meaning. Here, I’m calling this joy a resonance with the highest goal. If you have that, your service will have meaning beyond what you can imagine. Specifically, Gandhi said

Service can have no meaning, unless one takes pleasure in it …

Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served.

But all other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness before service that is rendered in the spirit of joy.
