Till you reach the state of jnana and thus wake out of maya you must do social service by relieving suffering whenever you see it. But even then you must do it without ahankara, i.e., without the sense of 'I am the doer', but with the feeling 'I am the Lord's tool'.
Ramana MaharshiActions themselves form no bondage. Bondage is only the false belief,"I am the do-er."
