To Maa Devi and all:Being of service in our daily lives

[Guest guest]

-Namaste MaaDevi: I too am glad Gauri posted about seva to her

passengers on the airplane. I too have spent much time considering

how to best give my clients the benefit of my connection to Maa. I

have had the grace and blessing to have an over-the-phone nationwide

service business for 20 years.

Here is how my partner, my wife, and I have made the connection. We

consider that our clients are God and that we are in business to serve

them as God. We have that attitude of " service to God " as our

un-official private business mission statement, and try to practice it

in every interaction with our clients and our vendors, while over the

phone, or on line, or thur the mail. We follow the " Golden rule " , do

unto others as we would have them do unto us, and this seems to have

created a profound connection between us all.

Our clients love us, and we love them. We always exceed their

expectations, and surprise them with our dilligence, our attention to

detail, and we " bend over backwards " to help them in every way

possible. This is the way Maa says a sadhu should act.

Our vendors enjoy working with us, and go beyond their normal service

parameters because we treat them so well.

We try to create a " win-win " in every transaction. This sounds trite

and common, but, when you hold the context in your heart that the

client and vendor are really God, then, there is a deep, subtle, and

powerful " heart connection " that we all experience. And what do we

send thru that heart connection? Shree's Maa's blessings.

When Maa and I first met, 10 years ago, Maa made me a Tee shirt which

said: HEART CONNECTION, with a rainbow and the words connecting 2

halves of a heart. She played off our company name, INSPECTION

CONNECTION.

Up to that point we had always strived to give our best, but, once She

stated that sublime context, we had to rise to a new standard of

practice. And, thru Her grace, we did.

In summary, we treat our clients and vendors as God and serve them as

we wish to be served. We act as sadhus, so we make less mistakes and

provide a higher quality product for our clients. And, when speaking

to our clients, we impart the teachings of Maa in ways that our

clients understand and relate to. We do not preach to them, just

gently apply the principles of Maa and Swami's teachings to solve

their problems or elevate their spirits when they are down.

In order to do this, we have pictures of Shiva and other Gods

surrounding us in our office, and we perform puja regularly and visit

the Mandir daily. This keeps us in tune with Maa and Swami and allows

them to work thru us, to spread the message of love and hope into the

world.

Hope this helps. I know Maa will give great advice.

 

Love
