Selfless service is the art of giving without the desire for a return favour, praise, or fame. It teaches us to act with a steady heart—doing what is right 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭, not because applause might follow. When we serve without craving reward, the ego loosens its grip and 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐬 within, turning simple actions into sacred ones.

In this way, service becomes a kind of inner alchemy: we give of ourselves, yet we walk away 𝕝𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥𝕖𝕣, 𝕗𝕣𝕖𝕖𝕣, 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕞𝕠𝕣𝕖 𝕔𝕠𝕟𝕟𝕖𝕔𝕥𝕖𝕕 to all beings (and god).
