The School of Seva — Series Index
The Vaishnava tradition does not regard service as a means to an end. Seva is the path itself. It is also the school.
The Vaishnava tradition does not regard service as a means to an end. Seva — sincere, selfless, ego-surrendering service to the Lord, the guru, and the community — is the path itself. It is also the school. And the curriculum it teaches goes deeper than any classroom can reach.
This series examines what sincere seva actually produces in the interior life of a man who submits to it fully: the stripping of the false ego, the growth of genuine responsibility, the earning of wisdom that cannot be read into existence, the gift of honest self-knowledge, the development of authentic spiritual maturity, and ultimately, the proximity to God that only a life of faithful service can create.
Seven essays. One argument. The school of seva has been forming men for centuries. The curriculum has not changed.
