What
is seva yoga / Karma yoga ?
Seva is serving others and helping others with compassion, serving
not for personal gratification but to uplift others. Seva is an
offering. When an action contains your best thoughts and feelings,
your love and affection, sympathy and compassion, and when it
uplifts others, that is seva. Seva is serving others with compassion
and with the best you can give. In the course of time, seva becomes
a way of life. Living for others becomes a way of life, not living
for oneself.
