Seva Vs Work

Seva is Service either paid or free.
Work is what one performs for what one is paid for.
People who work usually have ego, measure and work and expect rewards and awards either in cash or in kind in any form.
They usually have no commitment or loyalty but do it as a routine.
They merely follow the laid down rules without applying their mind to the principles based on which these rules were framed.
Rules are formed for the benefit of the people and not the people are to simply follow the rules.
To serve the people one can change the rules, be flexible but need not break the rules right away.
But if a rule is found to be obsolete, redundant then better take it up with the concerned authorities to amend, improve and change the rules to benefit all befitting the changing times.
Seva or service is done with love, devotion and with dedication.
One who wants to do seva or service will have no ego or will not hesitate to lend a helping hand and will go out of the way to help another person in need of help.
There will be no ego, no definitions like - it is my work - it is not my work - no red tapism.
Extending oneself without any limitations to serve the whole world is real Seva.
Many even in Charitable Institutions do only work and not interested in Seva.
They are misfits in such organizations.
