[QUOTE="Harkiran Kaur, post: 215759, member: 18224"] First of all, nobody can do service for a life of eternity. We all already exist eternally as ONE. There is no trading good deeds for eternity a’la Abrahamic religions. Second I don’t do anything I might do in hopes of personal gain. At least I try my hardest. I still struggle sometimes with wanting a little bit of recognition if I did something major and I feel bad if someone else got the recognition. That’s a personal demon I have (metaphorically of course). When it comes to seva, and selflessness if service is done for the wrong reasons that persons eyes likely won’t be opened the same way as laying aside your own ego and doing it selflessly. At least that’s my understanding. As an adult I can understand that cleaning my home is rewarding for my family but as a child filled with anger because Mom told me I have to clean my room or else no play time, and do it on the edge of a tantrum I could not see the reward of having a clean room. I couldn’t see through that fog of anger or selfishness. What I meant was not that the homeless person wasn’t going to be fed either way, but that when someone is forced to do something out of punishment they will usually not see how they are helping others because they are blinded by their own rage, selfishness, resentment. And I guess this is where five thieves comes in and how they affect us. Now someone who believes in doing service selflessly for no other reason than to benefit others, will see things differently. Instead of being blinded by rage and resentment they will more likely see the good that service is benefiting others. But more than that they will also feel empathy for the situation others are in. Now I’m not saying the criminal could never see that and maybe some might see and really change. However they will have a lot more anger and resentment to deal with... that fog which will make it much more difficult. Case in point, in the military I have felt much better about initiating a project on my own even if it ivolved physical work and was generally considered not fun. However when we were held back because someone messed up and the whole section was forced to do it as a punishment, there was an entirely different outlook. I know you will say someone who doesn’t believe in a creator at all can still do selfless service and be a good person yes they can... but because their belief system is a bit different they may not notice or be interested in ‘finding Creator in all’ as Gurbani speaks of. If you aren’t looking for something or even more if you don’t believe in something, it will be much more difficult (though not impossible) to find. And there have been people who were no religious at all who had experiences that did open their eyes and changed their beliefs about life, creator etc. However they are very few because of you aren’t looking or interested in seeing, chances are you’ll miss it. That’s where belief comes in. By the way holy is not really a Sikh term is it? I hope this got my thoughts across?? I don’t know how else to explain so please forgive me Harry Ji... [/QUOTE]
