Joy Of Service

You will suddenly see a new space open up inside you. When you work without expecting anything in return, just for the joy of doing it, you will see how liberating it is. Gradually, when this becomes ingrained in you, you will be enriched and enjoy whatever you do much more. You will no more bother about who thinks what about you.

Kṛṣṇa says, 'Performing austerities and sacrifices, giving charity or pursuing pious result-based activities will take a person to the Supreme abode.' While doing each of these activities, it is the attitude that matters most, not the action itself. Many people give money to temple priests out of fear and greed. They are told that if they don't give money, the gods will be angry. Or if they give money, their family will be protected. The attitude behind these actions is what counts. Kṛṣṇa says, if one engages in activities with devotion, then He will be there at the time of one's death.

Impress upon the students that it is liberating to do our work without expecting anything in return, just for the joy of doing it, without the need to please or impress anyone. GOALS:
