Let's Be Honest

We can all get so self-obsessed. I used to be in my own bubble, really worried about what others thought of me. Sometimes it takes the action of doing something like seva (selfless service) to get out of that self-obsession. My Nonnie showed me that. She was always a very generous person, giving compliments, money, or her time to help others. Even up until the end, she was doling out sweet kindness. When she lost her ability to do that, when she didn’t have the energy to speak anymore, she slipped into unconsciousness. That was a huge eye opener for me: Giving back was her life’s purpose; seva makes you happy.
