Service is action which alone yields the fruit anywhere in world

Service is action and action alone – yields the fruit anywhere in world,
Service is Karma Yoga, the final step – preached by preacher Madhva.
Action results from interest, – when interest to see Bombay arises,
You will do all practical efforts – to reach the city and to enjoy it.
This interest is devotion preached by – Ramanuja as the second step.
Interest is created by the details – or knowledge of Bombay, hence, Knowledge is basic first step, - Shankara preached it as Jnana Yoga.
Knowledge and devotion are promoters – like fertilizer and water for
Practical sacrifice, the seed that grows – into tree called as the service.

The tree alone yields fruit and not – water or fertilizer in any amount.
Service is sacrifice of work for saints, - it is called as Karma Sanyasa.
Hanuman sacrificed work for Rama, - saints can do work only to God.
Householders can sacrifice work - and also fruit of work, the wealth.
Gopikas, as householders sacrificed – butter, the fruit of their work.
Sacrifice of fruit of work is called as – Karmaphala Sanyasa by Gita.
Arjuna, a householder sacrificed work – by fighting with evil forces
To establish justice in God’s mission, - Arjuna was not for kingdom.
He refused to fight for his benefit, - fought for work of God only.
Rama masked His divinity by ignorance – like a pearl in iron box.
He did not preach anything, - He did not show any miracle.
Krishna was more intensive in test, – pearl was colored red.
Krishna appeared as thief and dancer, - did not preach Gita then.
He appeared as worst fellow – to test the top most sages.
Rama tested angels like Adishesha, – Krishna tested top sages.
Sages are of higher level – than angels in spiritualism always.
Shankara came for ordinary – human beings on this earth.
He expressed divinity through – preaching knowledge always.
Human beings cannot recognize – masked or colored pearl.
When Datta came as untouchable – with very bad qualities,
Even Shankara could not recognize Him, - it is only a message
To say that God covered by Maya – misleads even top most.
