Q What is 'service' SEVA ?

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada



Ans: Service is not a function of the body or mind but of the spirit soul. There is no business or trade in service. For the service to be actually devotional, it must be intended simply for Krishna's pleasure. One's service should contain nothing motivated by a desire for one's own happiness. Devotional service is unmotivated, causeless, and the uninterrupted propensity of the spirit soul. One cannot understand the ultimate goal of knowledge unless he engages in unalloyed service to guru. Only the Lord's devotee is eligible to become a spiritual master. This is not an exaggeration but a fact. Lord Krishna states, "As they surrender unto me I reward them accordingly."- His Divine Grace
