We may give, and often, but do we truly serve? Most help comes with strings – expectation, recognition, pride.
Yet real service is like the sun – shining on all, unmoved by who receives it.
True selflessness means detachment from outcomes. It isn’t only about uplifting others; maybe it’s also about freeing ourselves – from ego, from control, from the illusion of giver and receiver.
The highest service isn’t action – it’s understanding.
Not just doing good, but dissolving the self in the process, as a realized soul. Only then is service truly free.
