Seva

Service

Seva is Hindi for service. For BKs service comes into three categories: self service (ie self transformation through gyan, yoga, and dharna), physical service of others (which in practice means proselytizing the BK beliefs, or extending the BK sphere of influence), and "subtle" service of others (meaning to send out good wishes and spiritual vibrations to other souls through yoga).

One of the four main BK subjects, ie yoga, gyan, seva, and dharna.

Service means service of the self as well as service of other souls. First is the self, because only those who have created their stage can remove many other souls from their difficult situations. Just as you and Baba are combined, the body and the soul are combined, and your future Vishnu form is combined, in the same way let the service of the self and the service of all others be combined. Do not separate them, or you will make greater effort for less success.

At the moment the task of transformation is still going on through words, but now let it be through your attitude that the attitude of others change. Let it be through your thoughts that the thoughts of others change. You haven't even started this research yet - it is through this subtle service that you will automatically go beyond all weaknesses.

Despite murli passages like those just quoted, when BKs talk of "service" they are generally (almost always) referring to physical service.
