Monk's life prepares the dedicated one (for God) to discover The God inside The Man,and inspire him to perform (serve) the God in Man,then it becomes a Mission (in life).Monk-hood makes one expand the heart to become magnanimous to feel be pain in the society and to attempt to remove the same in a total unselfish mode,and then it a Mission.'Monk' is the preparation phase and 'Mission' is the action phase.A monk does not have a worldly family, it is transformed into a sense that the entire world has become her/his family.Vowof monk's life trains the mind to dedicate the mind in the 'service to man is the service to God', that is Karma Yoga, when one dedicates the result of the Karma into The God, and expects nothing in return for her/his service.Monk is in the humming state for God,Mission is the visible state of Monk's humming for the God (in Man).Monk's life starts and ends in the renunciation for the God and Mission starts and never ends in serving the Humanity, both states are performed and enjoyed in the divine silence.The most common thing in a monk and in a mission is the existence, appreciation for the true CHARACTER without which such attempts in 'living the life' is not possible.
