Silence:
Prayer within breath Is silence
Love within Infinity Is silence
Wisdom without word Is silence
Compassion without aim Is silence
Action without doer Is silence
Smiling with all the Existence Is silence!

Q: What is secret of selfless service which is
devoid of personal conflict?
.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Just do service. Don't think too much, whether it is selfless or
selfish. Never mind. Don't analyze too much. Let's keep it simple. If you enjoy doing service, it's good. If you don't enjoy,
never mind because someone who is benefiting, is enjoying. It's better not to analyze too much. Where is the time to think?
If there is an intention only, it will make you feel uncomfortable. Just think I am doing it with all my heart because it
has to be done. Finished. That's it. And if you are enjoying then don't think, "Oh I shouldn't be enjoying" because whatever
you try to push down, fight with, it simply comes up.
.
In my commentary on the `Narad Bhakti sutras', I have said:
`Without any conflict, repose in the Self'. Now suppose there is some conflict, then don't try to get rid of it. Simply embrace
it and you will find it disappears.
