“Serve, Love, Give, Purify, Meditate, Realise” were the famous words uttered by the great Yogi Swami Sivananda Saraswati. These helpful tools for life can be seen as steps to help awaken to the higher consciousness within and around us.
Service is the action of helping others without expectation. By helping others you can ultimately help yourself. By helping others you can awaken joy within yourself.
Seva is the Sanskrit word for selfless service and it means offering oneself wholly to a greater cause.
Karma Yoga is the “tool” we use to mine gems of our inner potential. It is the action that is done with awareness, the action that liberates instead of binds. It is through selfless activities, unattached work, and loving service that one can acquire the precious gems of purity, patience and humility.
