It is good to study Truth, to listen to lectures or sermons, and to meditate, but we must do more than this - we must also work. By our fruits we shall be known. Of what use is it to study Truth if we do not put the teachings into practice?

Most of us have to work for a living, but we must also work for others, and each must choose in what way he can serve best. Horace Traubel tells us that we can speak out when others are silent. We can say man when others say money. We can stay up when others are asleep. We can keep working when others have stopped to play. We can give life big meanings when others give it little meanings. We can say love when others say hate. We can say every man when others say one man. We can try events by a hard test when others try them by an easy test. And we can give ourselves to life when other men refuse to do so.

Find out how best you can serve, and serve in love.
