Why bother with helping others when you can choose infinite bliss?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

If you have found bliss, you can’t but share it with everybody, and what is the point of finding it and not sharing it? What is the point of going to the bank and getting lots of money and not spending it? What is the point of earning money and not spending it?
Similarly, when you gain knowledge, you must share it. When you are happy, you don’t say, 'Leave me alone, I am very happy'. You want to make a phone call and say, 'Hey look, I saw this wonderful movie. I want to share it with you'. The nature of happiness or bliss is always to share. And if you are unable to share and you become unhappy, that is again not bliss.
