Karma Yoga through seva (selfless service) is a key component of our yogic lifestyle. Yogi Bhajan spoke about some aspect of Seva/Karma Yoga in almost every class he taught. He encouraged students to focus on giving rather than getting, to live with an attitude of gratitude for all blessings and all challenges, to act as a forklift and uplift others in need, and to serve humanity with love.
Seva means doing a service, a service with no return. That is how grace gets multiplied,
when you are not seeking any return.
~Yogi Bhajan 7/20/81
