How to increase the seva bhav (intention to serve)?
Question - Gurudev, how to increase the seva bhav (intention to serve)?
Gurudev Sri Sri - Do not intend to increase the seva bhav. We assume that we lack the attitude of service and then try to increase it. So, it doesn't happen. That is why we assume we have seva bhav in abundance. What stops you from doing seva is laziness. You can get rid of laziness by giving importance to the right diet and doing some exercise. Doing seva by yourself might seem difficult. So, do it in a group. When you have to do adhyayan (study), do it in a group. When you do tapas (penance), do it by yourself. Similarly, when you do seva, do it in a group. That leads to a rise in enthusiasm and is less tiring.
