"Spirituality engenders service.
Service without spirituality is like a body without a soul
We are not here to do 'social service.'
Do not serve the other as a favour to the one you serve.
Serve each being as you would serve
a member of your own family.
Serve selflessly and experience immeasurable happiness
gained through identification with the other.
Forgetfulness of the self leads to establishment in the Self.
Those who are eternally free are the servants of all."
~ Param Pujya Ma

Param Pujya Ma guides the aspirants through the four stages of Om, as delineated in the Mandukya Upanishad:
|
| Vaishvanar |
Practising humane qualities whilst serving the Lord's children. |
| Taijas |
Consecrating the mind to the Lord and thus inculcating the attributes of Divinity. |
| Pragya |
A spontaneous flow of Divinity into life's deeds. |
| Turiya |
Silence meets Silence; the flow of life that emerges from this union is Divine. |
|
|
Practical Worship
Guided thus by Param Pujya Ma, members of Arpana are privileged to make their prayerful offering through health and socio-economic services.
These activities embrace over 200,000 rural folk in Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, U.P. and in the slum areas of Delhi.

"If you are not this body, then give this body
to this earth and to all beings -
for they are all claimants of this body.
If you are not the mind,
then forget your likes and dislikes
and disseminate love and happiness.
If you are not the intellect,
then do not consider your decision
to be the most superior
and don't impose it on others.
You can ascend to the spiritual path
by gifting your body, mind and intellect
to the Lord's Universe."
~ Param Pujya Ma
