Art of Living guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar on acts of kindness:
Abiding in the self, you become the Valentine for the whole world. Spirit is the valentine of the matter and vice verse. They are made for each other. If you do not respect the spirit, then nature is not pleased and vice versa.
You are the Christmas tree:
A Christmas tree bears the gifts and the lights not for itself. Similarly all the gifts you are carrying in your life are for others.
When you showed kindness towards others, your true nature comes into play. Have you ever done acts of kindness, without expecting anything out of it, and then it is considered as a worthy act and loved by all.
Our services should not be mechanical and they should be natural spontaneous.
For example,
If a girl helps an old woman to cross the road, the gratitude in the eyes of that old home is enough for that girl to being joy in her. No other special reward is essential and also we cannot measure that little charity with money.
This sort of kind heartedness brings changes in the hearts of many people. When you do random acts of kindness, you become in touch with your true nature.
God likes very much this sort of kind hearted persons.
