selfless service : S E L F L E S S S E R V I C E It is seva, or selfless service, that accelerates the sadhana of a seeker and lights the spiritual path. There is a saying that it is easy to be a saint on a mountaintop, but the real proof comes when you return to the marketplace. We refine our understanding through the practice of selfless service. As we work with others in a spiritual environment, we have a practical means to put teachings into action. During the practice of seva, we perform familiar activities -- whether cooking, cleaning, teaching, or working at the computer -- with awareness. When we offer seva we create a tangible offering of love in action. "Uninterrupted loving service" is a way to dissolve that which separates us from the constant experience of divine love. As we cultivate an attitude of service, we learn how to make all of our life's work service; all aspects of our life become yoga.
