Your Soul Comes First, Before Social Service!!

I was reading this article in Times of India today morning and then found it on the times of india site too, read the first para:

"We are told to strive to tune in to the inner self as that is the main purpose of life. But isn’t it better to go out and help the poor and needy, feed and clothe them, engage in social service? Your noble feelings are to be appreciated. But do you think that such help alone would bring colour to their lives? Would this really change the dismal state of society? How do you assure that social help offered in the form of food and clothing would be a substantial answer to their problems?You serve food once to a person. Won’t he need it again? The clothes offered by you would need to be replaced by new ones after some time. Why not then serve them in totality? Why restrict to just doing ‘something’ for the needy?’ "
