"We can't do anything - it's all the mercy of Guru Maharaj and Gurudev. To be able to come in contact with these conditioned souls and give them what you first felt when you came to the Temple, all of this joy and real happiness - you want to give that to others. You see how people are suffering in illusion and you just want to be able to please your Gurudev. What he has given you is a natural spontaneous thing. We want to serve, and that comes from the heart."
