Seva

Seva means selfless service and is an important part of many spiritual traditions. Seva helps to shift your focus away from your self to the needs of the other. It helps to make you less concerned about your ego’s needs. Amma says: ‘A selfless attitude gives joy. By helping others we help ourselves.
