One lady was getting into depression. Her father had died. She felt she lost everything. Though she had a husband, kids, grandkids. Still, she could not handle it. She wondered why? She felt she could not ask anyone anything else now. One day, while sitting she thought of going to old age home and be with some elderly and see how would she feel. So she went there, she spoke to them, hugged them. She gave them what they needed. She went to the market to buy a few things they needed. Finally, when she came back home, she realized she had never felt so peaceful. She started going there regularly. She realized, more she was doing for them, better she was feeling for herself. She was doing that for herself.
Often we think, if we have helped someone, we have helped that person. But in reality we do not realize, we do it for the feeling we get after doing that. We feel better about ourselves. We feel we have been able to do something for someone. Bhagwad Gita says, we do not even go to the temple for God. We go there for ourselves. We like it or we need something. We never do anything for anyone else. Whatever we do we do it for ourselves. So when we are helping others, we feel better for ourselves. That, yes, I have done something right.
Whenever you want to raise your vibrations, just help others. Their smiles, their blessings, will raise your vibrations. Because that will bring fresh air, fresh energy.
Whenever you want to be abundant and feel abundant, help others. You will know how much you have that you can help others too. There is no lack.
