Seva versus Ego


Dhan Dhan (blessed blessed) are the ones who live, breathe, eat and serve Satnaam (Truth)  in everyone with every breath.  Keep us under their holy feet so a sinner like us may be ferried across.
 
gursikhaa kee har dhoor deh hum papee bhee gat paai.
Dear God, please give me the dust of the feet of the Guru's sikhs,
so a sinner like me may be ferried across.   - Guru Arjun Dev Ji.
Sometimes thoughts come in our mind that what is the point of doing seva, we should just focus on long hours of simran and enjoy the divine bliss that other's are revelling in.   We ask ourself, why do we send emails, and record video and kirtan of sangat, when we could just be doing long hours of simran instead and enjoying those wonderful things that other people talk about?   We question wether we are focusin on the right thing?  Because sometimes we feel we are just not getting anywhere and are getting frustrated and tired and exhausted doing seva at the expense of simran.  So we should just go quiet, say little , go inside , be quiet , do our bhagti with 100% focus and no more physcial seva, just simran seva.    Then with SatNaam SatGuru ji's Kirpa, we get the thoughts inside us, "the seva is showing you all of your frustrations and wants that are still inside you,  so are you going to give up seva or give up ego - the root cause of all these questions?"  And we say to SatNaam SatGuru Baba Ji Maharaj,  "we dont need any spiritual expereinces or wonderful expereinces, visions or whatever else others are enjoying, we just need to become DESIRELESS, NIKAAMEE - just make are ego totally useless, make us do seva until our ego finally gives up, may we keep doing seva everyday and with every breath forever, may everyone else benefit and experience what they want, just keep us in your seva, under your feet, we dont need anything else, not physical, not spiritual, not magical, not supernatural, just need to serve what is real aroundu s right now, serve Satnaam in everyone right here right now.  We remember Baba Ji Maharaj already told us to say to SatNaam "why do I need to go to those realms to see you when I can see you here in everything and everyone."  Baba ji said to us already "Satnaam Ji you stay up there, and we will stay here in hell and throw out the suffering souls to you."   All we know is that in this sangat over the years, Baba ji Maharaj has shown us that everyone who has gone for spiritual success (to become a Sant) has ended up in hell, and everyone who served the ones in hell, are living in extreme humbleness, extremely open and full of Truth, Love and Compassion and Baba ji Himself calls them as Sant.
 
 
God Bless all.
