A small help done to an old woman that you come across on the way is service. Do not ever think, "What do I gain by helping this woman?" There is great merit even in such a small service. Therefore, continue to serve. There is no greater Sadhana than service to the fellow human beings. Seva Bina Nirvan Nahi (there is no redemption without service). You should not mind any inconvenience that you may undergo while serving others.
