Service, the alone Reward

Today, the typhoon of hatred and falsehood is scattering the clouds of Virtue, Justice and Truth to the far corners of the sky. So long as man is capable of prema (love), dharma (righteousness) will exist, do not doubt it. When you direct that prema to the Lord, your mental make-up will slowly and steadily undergo a revolutionary change. 
You will share in the sorrows and joys of your fellow-beings and experience bliss that is beyond the temporary gains and losses of this world. Your devotion to the Lord will undergo several changes.
An important stage is one where service to the Lord alone matters and service alone is the reward - one does not seek anything more than just the opportunity of doing service Unto Him, to the best of one's capacity.
Baba 
 
We cannot put everything in the same pot and tell everything is the same. We are the same 'I am that', but there is a difference, we are different people, man and woman, live on different places and different continents and we have different jobs and different life standards. I know I am focused on self-inquiry and it is not the same for you and there is nothing wrong about it, but it is not the same. 
By all respect, business is not self-inquiry, I have no scruples to tell my life story and to look at my life in the light of Baba's teaching to realize his presence in it, but would you do that?

So long as man is capable of prema (love), dharma (righteousness) will exist, do not doubt it. When you direct that prema to the Lord, your mental make-up will slowly and steadily undergo a revolutionary change. 

Find yourself, save yourself.
Find yourself means to know the difference between love, righteousness and business, it is not the same. We can do it with love and if there is love, our business is on the same level as his, it will be able to take care of others in need and it will be just service to him and that will be the reward.
And what we don't know because we are human, as you said, it is divinity who knows best, therefore, it is the best if he takes care of it. That is a reason why he said in the dream 'endorsement', first it has to be confirmed that it is right, we don't just know. 
He is the man who comes in our dreams to wake us up and to confirm if it is right.

And by the way, if I would tell that it is his business, after all, it means it should be taken care of that it is really his business. 
That will take care of Karma in the moment of death, that is the real wealth. And that is the trick, and that seems very right, because it is taking care that the heritage is at the right place during life time.   
 
You will share in the sorrows and joys of your fellow-beings and experience bliss that is beyond the temporary gains and losses of this world. Your devotion to the Lord will undergo several changes.
 
Once in a dream he said, he is the storm, when it hit the US and I wondered very much why he said that, but I guess there was a reason for it. If we think it is him and it is not him, the whole process turns upside down and could be falsehood and there is no more justice, it is Tamas.
We cannot be too light hearted if we know that it is that difficult to be understood and just tell, the message is simple.
Love and business are not the same, even if we do it in our best intentions, it is still not the same. And to equalize it with Swami is only okay, if we know for sure that it is Swami and it is his message. It is not that simple, and not everything is the same and the man in our dream is not just revealed to us, we have to find ourselves to be able to save ourselves.
And what does that tell us? 
There is a difference between Sathva and Tamas, if everything would be the same, there would be no difference and no need to make a difference.
That is the fight we see in the Bhagavadgita. On one side are the Pandavas, those who follow the Lord inside and live upto Dharma and would rather give up everything and all possessions than to kill and on the other side is his army, his power and his might and the greedy people of the same family. 
If we want to find ourselves, we have to get aware on which side we are and only on the right side we can be saved.
 
An important stage is one where service to the Lord alone matters and service alone is the reward - one does not seek anything more than just the opportunity of doing service Unto Him, to the best of one's capacity.
 
That is the job he gave me, that is my service. There is no question about reward and it looks like it will never be rewarded, it is even possible that it will go on unseen.   
And I had met that typhoon, it was in the inner view, and he said, he was the storm, it was the time when the storm war raging the USA. 
 
Today, the typhoon of hatred and falsehood is scattering the clouds of Virtue, Justice and Truth to the far corners of the sky.
 
We have to be very careful, ABC, that our experience is right, it has to be confirmed to get to the right conclusion. If we don't we are on the other side of it and whatever good we do and try to tell, it turns into Tamas and falsehood. We have to watch our actions, thoughts and character. It is not only silence, it is discrimination. 
When Baba tells love and God, it means all what is good only, what is true and real, and it is opposed to all what is false and bad and unreal. The discrimination value in every word of his. Baba is only love, because he had that discrimination realized in his own nature. He never turned into bad.
We have both in us in our mind, but he not. If we don't discriminate and just conclude that everything is very simple and all the same, we will be on the wrong side, because we don't use discrimination. It is impossible to know Swami without discrimination, he is truth and that tells us, he is not falsehood.
