"I Serve Without Overcontrolling"
The Sankalp
I offer my help and then release my grip on how it is used.
Why This Matters
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.
