Namaste!
I am glad the school has had wisdom to choose such a talk for the new graduates. Rahul did great service for giving this message to the graduates.
As all know American culture teaches fierce competition, and greed is not considered a bad thing. Even within a company or Gov. employees are set to compete with each other. Their computers have SharePoint software, but it is not used much. Some make a lot of money, but do not know how to use it. Rahul has shared the Eastern wisdom how to look at money and how to use it.
Goswami Tulasidas, a well known devotee of Rama and author of Ramacharitmanas, has sung:
"seva dharam kaThina jaga jaanaa."
Meaning: The seva dharma is difficult for the worldly people.
It needs some desire to advancement spiritually to engage in seva.
Bhagavaan Sri Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita that seva is also of three kinds: in the mode of goodness, passion, or ignorance.
Another Indian devotee of God has sung:
"neki kar, dariyaa me daal."
Meaning: Do good, and forget that you did it. This is seva in the mode of goodness (to the right person (or org.) at tight time, and with right attitude.)
I wish Rahul's message touch millions of young hearts.
jai sri Krishna!
