Religion was nearly dead because there was no longer real belief in future life; but something was struggling to take its place - service - social service - the ants creed, the bees creed.

If we do not lay out ourselves in the service of mankind, whom should we serve?

The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity.

Life's most urgent question is: What are you doing for others?

There is no higher religion than human service. To work for the common good is the greatest creed.

Consciously or unconsciously, everyone of us does render some service or another. If we cultivate the habit of doing this service deliberately, our desire for service will steadily grow stronger, and it will make not only for our own happiness, but that of the world at large.
