As

a preliminary to Seva (selfless service) you have to attain purity of

heart. You must examine your motives and skills, your intentions and

qualifications, and discover for yourself what you hope to achieve

through Seva. You should ferret out any trace of egoism, and also the

desire for fame. You have to get rid of all sense of mine and thine and

burn to ashes the pride that comes from the feeling that you are

offering service to someone poorer and less fortunate. Give up pride of

status, wealth, scholarship and position, and practise humility,

obedience, discipline and compassion.

 

- BABA
