Sweet Strong Heart 
Somehow, it lies in our thinking that in helping
others we lose. There is loss of time, energy and to some extent money. That's why people draw
back from serving others selflessly. Now, that's no longer true. Scientific research works.
Scientists are clearing the doubts and wrong motions lying in our tricky minds.
Eileen Rockfeller Growald and Allen Luks and many scientists have proven, that the benefits of
helping others flow back to the helper. New research shows that it does good for your heart,
immune-system and overall vitality.
Governments of many countries are spending like heavens doing research on the heart. But
serving others will save us from all the fuss made. Pay attention, again.
See, serving others will boost up our immunity-system. The mind and immunity -
system are connected to a very great extent. The stronger the mind the better the immunity system.
The greater the immunity system the greater your physical and mental health. The body is then
capable of fighting germs, bacteria and viruses.
Doing good - or even thinking about altruistic action - may give the immune-system a boost.
In one striking and still controversial study at Harvard, psychologist David McCelland showed
students a film of Mother Teresa working among Calcutta's sick and poor. Tests revealed an
increase in Immunoglobulin A, an antibody that
helps defend the body against respiratory infections. Even some students who said they
didn't like the saintly nun showed the enhanced immune response. Just as people now exercise
and watch their diets to protect their health they may soon scrape peeling paint from their elderly
neighbor's house, collect money the March of Dimes, campaign for a nuclear freeze, or teach
illiterates how to read or clean up trash from a public park - all for the same self-protective
reason. All this will be happening in the very near future.
Now, look at the things said by Shreeji Maharaj and all the Gunatit Saints upto Pramukh Swami
Maharaj. They have said to us by putting in action what scientists have said and are saying.
God and Saints have served and served. It
seems that They were upon this earth only for serving humanity at large.
We, belonging to them, should do the proven things i.e. serve in the temple
body, mind and soul and gain physical, mental and spiritual health.
