Seva
Seva at Ananda Mumbai
“Life should be chiefly service. Without that ideal, the intelligence that God has given you is not reaching out toward its goal. When in service you forget the little self, you will feel the big Self of Spirit.”Paramhansa Yogananda
Nayaswami Jyotish shares this beautiful inspiration about this important principle of seva/service. (Recorded during Ananda’s Inner Renewal Retreat in February 2023).
A recurring theme in Yogananda’s teachings was that service should not be performed merely out of duty or for recognition. Instead, it should be done with the awareness that the same divine presence exists in everyone. He taught that when a person serves others with this attitude, service becomes a form of worship and meditation in action.
