What Is Seva?


Recommended Posts

what is seva?

what do we understand by seva?

please share.

the reason i ask if because it is clear that when we do seva, we serve the One. we do not serve people? We serve Him by serving others, or serve Him in the form of others.

isnt it wrong to say that seva is service to others?

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakaal!

Dear all!

Without the wisdom of Naam all kinds of Sevaa are ego oriented.

After receiving the wisdom of Naam all that one does becomes Sevaa.

Please Listen, Guru Amar Daas Jee is singing.

ਸਬਦਿ ਮਿਲਹਿ ਤਾ ਹਰਿ ਮਿਲੈ ਸੇਵਾ ਪਵੈ ਸਭ ਥਾਇ ॥

सबदि मिलहि ता हरि मिलै सेवा पवै सभ थाइ ॥

sabadi milahi ta hari milai sevaa pavai sabh thaai. sggs ang 27

I've understood seva to be 'partaking'...not necessarily serving. When I hear that we should do satgur ki seva, I understand that as partaking or experiencing. Yes, I agree the physical action of seva with bhav etc is very defined. I am not downplaying that notion. I understand that aspect of seva in the karam realm. During meditation though, I have understood seva to be partaking/experiencing.

Dear all!

Gurdev is singinging, please listen.

ਏਹਾ ਸੇਵਾ ਚਾਕਰੀ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਸੈ ਮਨਿ ਆਇ ॥

एहा सेवा चाकरी नामु वसै मनि आइ ॥

ehaa sevaa chaakree naamu vasai mani aai.

ਨਾਮੈ ਹੀ ਤੇ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਈਐ ਸਚੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਸੁਹਾਇ ॥੧॥

नामै ही ते सुखु पाईऐ सचै सबदि सुहाइ ॥१॥

naamai hee te sukhu paaeeai sache sabadi suhaai. sggs ang 34

Once Naam is entered and settled Sevaa begins.
