As long as there is sorrow there is scope to serve
Now the universal question of all human beings is this: Why did the Supreme Entity come within the scope of transitory form? What was the necessity for this? Why did He create the universe? We understand that this is all His His divine sport. He has no doubt created human beings, animals and so many finite objects, but after all these microcosms are undergoing a great deal of suffering with regard to their food, clothing, housing, education, medical care, etc. Had He not come within the scope of transitory form, had He not created this universe, this problem would not have arisen at all. Then what was the necessity of doing all this? Yes, the scholars or philosophers may complain that it would have been better if the Supreme Entity had not created this universe but instead remained in His Eternal Stance. But those philosophers do not realize that had that Supreme Being remained in His Eternal Stance, then they themselves would not have been born, and then how could they have disseminated their philosophical knowledge? Similarly, the people of action should also realize that as the Supreme Being has composed this dream of creation, there are some roles which are happy and some which are sad. And if there are no unhappy roles, whom will the people of action serve? As long as there is sorrow there is scope to serve, otherwise there would be no scope to serve anyone.
