Altruism

Love is selfless and pure when it has no ulterior motives.

Just as the ignorant act with attachment, O Bharata, so should the wise act — but without attachment, with the desire to maintain the welfare of the world.

By action alone did Janaka and others attain perfection. You, too, should act, keeping the welfare of the world in view.

Restraining all the senses, equal-minded in all circumstances, rejoicing in the welfare of every being — they too attain me.

Those seers attain liberation in Brahman who have cleansed themselves of impurities, severed their doubts, mastered their selves, and rejoice in the welfare of all beings.

Nourish the gods with this, and may those gods nourish you in turn. By nourishing one another, you shall attain the highest good.

Regardless of their inherent nature, these things cannot help him love God as much as the smallest act of living faith and hope, which is done with selflessness and detachment from all things.

This is not Karma Yoga, but rather a self-promotional attempt to gain fame. In contrast, a common laborer who earns a meager living through hard work may choose to donate their earnings to feed the hungry or sick, even if it means they themselves go without food that day. This is true self-sacrifice and genuine Karma Yoga.

Don't worry about your future birth. Make the most of your current life, and free yourself from the cycle of birth and death. Cultivate devotion to the Lord, let go of base desires, and focus on doing good for others.

The life of a householder is not about indulging in lust and loose living. Instead, it's a life of selfless service, focused on Dharma, charity, goodness, kindness, and self-help, which benefits all of humanity.

Yogic practices alone are not enough; purification of the heart is essential. Self-reflection is necessary to eliminate faults and bad habits. Correct your flaws, such as selfishness, pride, jealousy, and hatred. Cultivate your heart by sharing with others and engaging in selfless service, which will lead to a pure mind.

True religion teaches us to come together, rise above all kinds of discrimination, and treat all beings as children of the same Supreme Father, serving and loving them selflessly and genuinely.

Having a calm and pure mind is extremely challenging, but it is essential for progressing in meditation and practicing selfless action.

The one eternal being is present in the transient, and the one consciousness is present in many conscious beings. He, being one, governs the desires of many. Those who are calm and strong, and see him in their self as in a mirror, attain eternal peace, which is not for others.

There is one calm and controlling spirit within all creatures that transforms one form into many. Those who are calm and strong, and see him in their self as in a mirror, attain eternal bliss, which is not for others.

If there is anyone who is all-beautiful, all-wise, and all-merciful, and who loves the forlorn, it is Rama alone. No one else can compare to him as a selfless friend and giver of eternal bliss.

A true friend should guide their companion away from wrong paths and towards virtuous ones, highlight their good qualities, and overlook their flaws. They should selflessly give and take, serve their friend's interests, and love them even more when they are in distress.

One who does not respectfully follow the advice of a selfless friend, teacher, and master will fully repent in their heart and undoubtedly harm themselves.

Lord Rama is pleased with pure and selfless love, but who in this world is more foolish and impure of mind than I?

Selfless righteousness is eternal and leads to an eternal reward, while selfish righteousness is not and does not lead to an eternal reward.
