 Hindu
Mythology or the Upanishads " The Brihadarnayak Upanishad"
says that the Lord Prajapti or Bramha - the creator of the Universe,
during the creation of the Universe created three kinds of beings
( Or the three kinds of consciousness ) namely :
" DEVA" OR " GODS "
" DANAVA" OR " DEMON "
" MANAV" OR " HUMAN BEING "
and advised them by one letter "Da" . The Gods understood
by this letter that they should practice _ "Dama" or
self control; the demons understood that they should practice
- "Daya" or compassion. And human beings thought that
they should practice - "Dana" or charity or service
or seva. Which meant that if one wants to give donation, one should
give with faith, with magnanimity, with modesty with awe and with
sympathy and which would remove their attachment to money and
thus purify their minds.
The service or seva has turned into many dimensions. Seva itself
has turned into Donation , which is known as "Parmarth Seva
/ Kar Seva". However through seva or service you can reach
to the heart of the people, trust of the people. By offering your
services , you can transform yourself into a self sufficient being
a practical being. You can bring smile on many weary and gloomy
faces. You will be more closer to yourself. Though in olden days
under the garb of service people were used as slaves. But here
certainly and certainly not does it mean that.
Seva though has no meaning for the realisation, for enlightenment.
To realise, one has to go beyond attachment on the name of divine.
However , It is one such objective , on such aim to bring people
from all walks of life under one roof, one platform to make them
realise that they are all born as Human Beings despite their way
of life and to let that feeling be alive even in this materialistic
world one should get into the habit of Service / Seva or donation
and relive the faith of being born as a "Human Beings."
