"I Serve Without Overcontrolling"

Daily Sankalp · Mitra v3.0 Stub · Beginner
The Sankalp

I offer my help and then release my grip on how it is used.

Seva — selfless service — asks us to give without conditions attached to the outcome. Aparigraha, non-possessiveness, applies here to our attachment to how our help is received, accepted, or acted upon. Overcontrolling service is no longer service — it is a subtle form of dominance. True help honors the autonomy of the person being helped.

✦
  1. Offer help without controlling how it is received or used.
  2. True service does not come with strings of expectation.
  3. Let your contribution land — then release it.
  • Pure service
  • Less resentment when help is not used as expected
  • Freedom in giving
ॐ
