“Do anything and everything with the idea of serving God, serving humanity, serving the world-at-large. You can serve everything. You can serve a table; you can serve a chair. If you don’t pull the chair mercilessly from one corner to another corner, you are serving the chair. Move it gently. Whatever we handle roughly, will feel the pain. Not only human beings feel pain and cry—everything in the creation does. There should be a gentle, soft, and yogic touch in everything, and with a compassionate feeling behind it.”

~H.H. Sri Swami Satchidananda
