Seva

"for gifts and possessions you give love as gratitude
never mind possessions and gifts
give yourself to Love as gratitude"

~  Rumi
"I slept and dreamt that life was joy.
I awoke and saw that life was duty.
I acted and behold, duty was joy!"

~  Rabindranath Tagore

The practice of Seva is Love in action, selfless service, with no expectations. Offering Seva is uplifting to your own self and our community, it is a practice that feeds us spiritually. Seva carries the power to awaken us to the greater Truth of our own being. How can I help? How may I serve?

Being there when the need arises, offering compassion and consciousness, simply asking - How may I serve? Opens us to Love.
