Guest guest Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Namaste all family: tonight Maa spoke about seva and she said devotees doing this seva, washing the floor, or doing that seva - doing what- ever they want-they all think they are doing seva. But they are not doing real seva. What is the real seva? It is doing exactly what the Master wants, without being asked or told what to do. That is real seva. To know what to do, you must become one with the Master. That is the goal. Jai Ma Jai Swami vishweshwar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Dear brother, I think you only give about one-half of the answer here.... If I may most humbly offer, the most important word to embrace in Mother's tender wisdom is " think " ... that (devotees) " think " they are doing seva. One can think all they they want during the fulfillment of an obligation, but if there is no love and joy present in one's heart, God only sees one doing their chores. What fun is that? Take the thought out. Children running around and laughing and playing are doing seva to God. Adults who - without thought - find joy and happiness out of every aspect of their life are also doing seva. To do that, without being told, is doing seva. If I " think " I'm making God happy, chances are I'm not...but if I find and remember God with a happy heart when I'm doing anything...ah, now that's really something...! Thank you, blessed Maa! sal. , " inspectionconnection108 " <inspectionconnection108 wrote: > > Namaste all family: tonight Maa spoke about seva and she said devotees doing this seva, washing the floor, or doing that seva - doing what- ever they want-they all think they are doing seva.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Namaste Sal and all Family: When Maa gives me wisdom, I attempt to pass it onto others in the purest way possible, without adornment or editing. Thus, her words were stated as clearly as I could remember them. Now, each of us can absorb her message and interpret it as we feel. And Sal, I appreciate and honor your relationship with the Divine and thank you for giving all of us your love and joy. Dear family, please accept my thoughts on Maa and her statement regarding seva. When I think of Maa and my relationship with her, I think of a verse from Shiva puja, {and I paraphrase}: ...The Guru is Brahma, the Guru is Vishnu, and the Great Lord Maheshwar, {Shiva}, therefore the Guru is God. As I interpert that, as I feel that in my heart, if I tune into and become One with the Guru, then I become One with God. Then, every action performed from that state of Oneness, is Divine and Joyous action, not my action, but her action. What a state of Grace, what a goal for this life on Earth. I thank Maa for her Grace, that she would be here on this Earth for me, and for all of us, so that we could have such a beautiful example of Divinity made flesh.
