Seva Without Attachment to Outcome

Seva—selfless service—is central to bhakti practice. Mirabai served through song, through presence, through refusing complicity with injustice. For those navigating anticipatory grief, seva becomes the answer to despair: act, serve, build, restore—not because you are guaranteed success, but because love demands it. This untethers action from the obsessive need for 'impact' or 'victory.' We may not save civilization; we can still work to reduce suffering, preserve what matters, midwife new possibilities. We serve the generations to come whom we will not meet. This practice draws from the Bhagavad Gita through Mirabai: do your duty; release attachment to fruit. This is not passivity; it is profound agency rooted in love rather than control.
