Where and how to begin Seva?

From Home

Consuming less and contributing more is the sign of maturity.

Serve the family members at physical level first, then

emotionally and finally at intellect level.

Seva helps to give up laziness

No exercising authority on others.

Take responsibility in action

Reduce wants to minimum

Ego wants to be served and not to serve
