Yesterday we discussed how we are a large part of the people of the world. Today Deepak reminds us that in service to those people is where we find our greatest joy. When we are always focusing on ourselves we bring negativity into our world and that of others. Yes, we need to make sure that we are aware and open but when we step outside of ourselves and help others our happiness can not be measured.
“There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.” – John Holmes
Today’s meditation focuses on the spiritual connection that is developed with the world when we offer selfless service to others. In the wisdom tradition of India this is called Seva – action that is not motivated by the ego, but rather is for the benefit and interests of others.
Not only do we help others through our service, but we also gain spiritually in joy and compassion, and that lifts us up as well.
