Morning Yoga with Singaporean von Bali Yoga Teacher
Teacher: Yuni
So you will have to satisfy Him, please Him. And the only way to satisfy Him is to satisfy His children. The entire creation, the entire living world, is His progeny. He is the Progenitor. So to satisfy Him you will have to render selfless service to His children. This rendering selfless service to the entire created world is known as 'seva'' (service).
You know, our transactions are of two kinds. You give something, and at the same time you take something--this is called a commercial transaction. You give - some dollars and receive some article in exchange. This transaction is mutual. This transaction is business. When the transaction is unilateral, that is, when you are giving something and not getting anything in return, then it is called 'seva''. Seva' is unilateral--in English, 'one-sided'.
There is another way of explaining it -- let there be a commercial transaction--you will give some money and take something in return. Now, if you want to take the most costly article from Him, you will have to pay Him the highest sum. Thus, if you want to get the most costly thing, that is, spiritual knowledge, then you will have to give yourself, and no money.
Both of these may be treated as seva'. When your giving is unilateral, and when you are giving your everything to Him and receiving spiritual knowledge, both are seva'.
