Why is seva important and how should I do it?
Seva with no give and take
If you serve while hoping to get something in return, that is not seva. Such a person is not a dasa (servant) but a businessman in a give-and-take system.
Those who serve while wishing to get something in return do not really serve. They are not dasa (servants of God). They are businessmen, and it is a give-and-take system.
