According to Osho, authentic service springs from inner growth—silence, meditation, and compassion. In the East, rulers first rooted themselves in the sacred; only then could they truly care for people in all dimensions. Even trees blossom to loving presence, he notes. Service that arises from inner contact blesses; service without inner depth is mere extroversion and cannot truly nourish others.
First grow quiet and kind inside; then whatever you do to help others really helps.
