There are many words that imply failure, such as “try”, that one can avoid to ensure a successful outcome and a determined effort.

The example of how to say ‘no’ but act ‘yes’ with a service attitude really hits home the point in this post!

If we have internalized the ‘servitude’ principle, most of our worries are taken care of – so true. Thanks for sharing.

we can know if we are having a genuine service attitude or an egoistic attitude by the ‘experience’. as they say proof of the pudding is in the eating. similarly you can know- and no one else can tell the difference- when you feel internally satisfied. its not some mental titillation but rather a deep internal contentment for having added value to some one else’s life, for having served another human being for his or her pleasure, and having not desired anything for the self. you can know it and you can feel it. if you are still confused and disturbed, despite what you are doing, then please be assured it isn’t yet a genuine service attitude.

Everybody can be great because anybody can serve. This emphasizes the importance of service.

Indeed this is a very thoughtful and coherent article, I had a question during the initial days of making internal changes, we are full of dualities then how can we be sure that whaterver we do would be in service attitude, On what basis can we interospect if its a geniune desire to serve or want to develop that attitude) or its out of our own egoistic mentlity.

Appreciate if you can help me on this ….

Thanks!!

The aspect of servitude is brought so beautifully here by Radhanath Swami. Leaders live to serve others.
Thank you very much

Thank you for encouraging us to be always in the mood of service attitude even though we have to say no externally in some situations.

The example of Ram dasa given very emphatically illustrates the point how one could say no but still at the same time be willing to help.

These words are really inspiring “A spiritualist considers himself as a servant and all others as his masters. “

Thanks for the wonderful article. Yes, we will now strive to develop that service attitude deep within our heart. As you correctly mentioned, sometimes, we say no/yes out of our own selfish ego rather than service attitude. So we will now strive to develop that strong foundation within the heart
