Q: For enlightenment, is service in
love to humanity as important as meditation or is service more important
than meditation practice?
M:
Both have to go hand in hand.
We meditate because we want to do service better, we want to be clearer
in what we do. Therefore, we will be more efficient in our work and
of more service to others. Without meditation, sometimes we have the
very best intentions and we are willing to serve people, but we don't
know what is the best way. Therefore, meditation is a helping factor
to true selfless service.
