Guest guest Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 Yogaman, I agree. I have a health condition that renders me exhausted all of the time. I become exhausted and very ill just siting in the hall too long - anywhere from 1 to 4 hours. However, whenever I have done seva I have felt great - and it has not made me tired. prasadini childofdevi wrote: > > > Amma says that She wants to ease the pain and suffering of > everyone in the world.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 Namah Shivaya, Guru seva is supposed to be the highest form of seva. Amma said something like, if we serve the Guru, liberation will follow us like a dog! Amma has blessed & taught me so much through seva. I can feel so close to Her while doing it, which is it's own reward. After being unexpectedly requested to do a stint of book store security, I think during DB, the realization dawned on me that we really are Amma's eyes, hands, feet, etc ... ganesh108 <ganesh108 wrote: Yogaman, I agree.
