Selfless service
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Selfless Service is a commonly used term to denote a service which is performed without any expectation of result or award for the person performing it. It is also sometimes used to denote a service performed with no apparent 'earthly' result, but which may accrue results in a spiritual or heavenly realm after death, although in the pure sense of the term that would not qualify as a strictly 'selfless' action.

[edit] Religious significance
The idea of selfless service is an inportant concept in Dharmic Religions and is known as Seva. Because God is perceived as residing in the heart of others, serving other people is considered an essential devotional practice.
