seva (self less service ) a comments ..................

The commitment of ‘I want to do it, come what may’, brought in a wave of liveliness one can feel it.

Over the years, many, many people suddenly come alive with smiles and enthusiasm, ready to help and serve… Their tiredness and fatigue just dissolve like an early morning mist which simply evaporates as the sun rises. The immense joy and fulfillment that one gets by doing something for other people, by lending a helping hand is simply unparalleled and doing Seva (self less service ) can be quite an addiction ?

Seva - Lending a Helping Hand

The energy and the inspiration are always there for the taking, you only need to care!

But unfortunately many, many people have a limited and myopic idea of Seva.

For most people, Seva is normally limited to going to a slum or a village and clean the gutters and roads, or giving money to a beggar (and feeling good about it), or giving away old clothes (and making space for new ones), or donating blood or going to an orphanage and spending time with the kids there, or feeding people, or merely wearing a red ribbon at an AIDS charity concert, etc (With a few exceptions, many celebs have mastered doing this kind of politically correct Seva). This kind of Seva typically increases the dependency of the people who are being “helped” on the “helper” and is done out of a feeling of pity and no belongingness at all.

Seva of course, is all this, but it can be much, much more.

First and foremost one can realize that every soul on this planet is desperately yearning for peace and fulfillment. This, it can get, only through the Knowledge of the Self. through the process of giving love and care  . Making THAT happen would be the ultimate Seva. Because now when  this  actions is done out of genuine compassion and care for people. And making them self sufficient, not dependent and obligated.

how we empower people to experience profound peace, unconditional love and enthusiasm and sustain those. This in turn allows people to be good and creatively do good, to achieve success with minimal or no stress and to celebrate and live life to its fullest.

Seva Result? - A Happy Planet! :)

Sa ae va (word Seva split in Sanskrit) means ‘to be like Him’, to be like God or Nature. The divine has created such amazing beauty, such abundant variety, just so that we can be happy. If each one of us can be happy and in turn can spread that happiness, we would be fulfilling the planet’s greatest need.

If we can make a fire in the hearts of people by kindling that spark of inspiration which is already there, to support each other’s highest ideals- Then that would indeed be Seva in it’s full glory and this planet will transform into a paradise, a true Divya Samaj…
