“Service takes on a different tone, a different feeling quality in our beings, if instead of doing it out of guilt or I need to stay busy or I’m trying to help people, it’s an act of love. It’s your relationship with the beloved, that the homeless person, your partner, even your self, is a manifestation of that which is love. Then, service is transformed. It’s an act of joy, not a responsibility.” – RamDev
