Because God is perceived as residing in the heart of others, serving other people (and in particular helping them to find God by way of a spiritual teacher) is considered an essential devotional practice. "Service before Self" was a motto by Sant Kirpal Singh which described this practice. A ...

Yoga Mat: A Column of Light On Shivaratri

Such a statement is convincing because it comes from a strong, fearless and intelligent person.
