Service to mankind is beneficial if performed without egoism and doership. Otherwise, service with egoistic desire can be an obstruction for moksha, final liberation.

Man may travel far and wide or establishes a second home beyond the borders of his native land; Yet at the twilight years of life, he will travel back on the long road to the old Home where he spent the first 7 years of his childhood from the time he was born. - wilfredosrb
Everyman in his second childhood forgets all material things. His wife, children and grandchildren are mere friends and playmates. He remembers only the years as a child below 7 yrs of age and going home to the place where he was born.
Robert Frost, an American poet, wrote "Where Are The Old Men?", re-living in poetic lines the men who left England on the MayFlower. The men with their family who worked in American plantations until their old age. No one saw them leave, died and buried in American soil . . . -wilfredosrb

Revered Swami Sarvalokanandaji Maharaj, Secretary, Ramakrishna Mission, New Delhi delivered an inspiring talk on "Bharatiya Bhava on Seva: Understanding the Roots of Selfless Service" at a seminar organised by 'Students for Service' in association with C20 (a partner of the G20 movement) at the Conference Hall, Delhi University (North Campus), June 9, 2023.
The Mahavatar Babaji celebration started with evening prayers, which was then followed by abhishekam and Guruji's satsang.
Mahavatar Babaji day commemorates the selfless service this mystical yogi gives to all mankind, and his promise to continue this service on the planet until all are awakened. He gives continually to all of humanity, however, Guruji reminded us all during His satsang that we should do our part and strive to awaken from the deep sleep state we have carried with us for countless lives. (The saints are never in a state of sleeping, regardless of how they might look on the outside.)
Guruji continued by saying that when the satguru comes into one's life, he breaks the conditioning of the mind where we think the outside relationships are real. The outside is just a formality. What matters is the true, sincere, burning of the heart for God, just like Mirabai had, for example.
The role of the satguru is to unlock the way of love. He reveals himself through that Prem and infuses one with that grace and gives himself to the bhakta. It is only through Prem, that ultimate love, that one can enter the domain of Sri Hari. Guruji reminded us to live our lives as if God is present every day with us (because He is)!

Kansas State men's basketball coach Bruce Weber resigned Thursday, the university announced.
"Coach Weber has provided selfless leadership to our basketball program and university for the last decade," athletic director Gene Taylor said in a news release. "With two conference championships and an Elite Eight run in 2018, our program reached exceptional levels of success under his direction. His development of young men on and off the court, while representing K-State in a first-class manner with the highest level of integrity is unmatched in today's game and something all K-Staters should take great pride in."
Weber's resignation comes a day after No. 9 seed West Virginia defeated No. 8 seed Kansas State 73-67 in the first round of the Big 12 tournament.
His departure from the program was expected after a string of disappointing seasons, though after the game Wednesday, Weber made it clear he'd like to stay.
"It's a crazy business," Weber, 65, said. "I have loved it. I hope I get to continue. We'll see what happens."
The Wildcats finished the season with a 14-17 record, 6-12 in the Big 12.
The school said it would honor the remainder of the contract. In 2018, Weber signed a contract extension through the 2022-23 season that was due to pay him $2.9 million in the final season.
Weber took over the Kansas State program before the 2012 season after successful stops as the head coach at Southern Illinois (1998-2003) and Illinois (2003-12).

This mom right here is amazing and so selfless. She decided that she needed to shave her head to help Cici cope with the process of losing her hair. Cici was so distraught with the concept of her losing her hair and being bald. It was so bad that every time she saw a person with a bald head, she would break down in tears. Her mom sucked it up and shaved her head to show her that having no hair wasn't all that bad. I love their matching hair cuts.
Nobody sees me.
but they will see me when I will be trash.
Nobody sees me.
just you only human...
Nobody listens to me 'till I die.
just you only human...

I'm thankful for my amazing wife who is also an amazing mom! Everyday she cares and helps provide for her family in new ways. She works hard, and is making a difference in the lives of those around her. She is incredibly selfless and giving of her time and energy. Thank you for all you do and for the amazing mother you are! Love you. 👪❤️👏
RFS Service Standard 7.1.9 (covid vax mandate) destroyed volunteering in the RFS for me and many other long-time RFS volunteers with many years of selfless community service. Neither the RFSA or the VFFA stood up and fought back against that utterly draconian directive that divided volunteers into the pro-RFS sheep/wonks who blindly lined up to get multiple jabs of experimental drugs and those who stood by their own ethics and integrity and refused to get Covid vax and/or to tell the RFS they had got Covid vax.
My brigade was totally pro-Covid-vax except me and I think 1 or 2 others. From the start of Lockdown 2.0 in July 2021 until I choose to withdraw entirely in 2023 after 21 years of active volunteering (2000 to 2021) I had absolutely zero involvement with my brigade because not only was there the official RFS mandate, but my brigade implemented *it's own* Covid vax mandate that banned un-vaxed volunteers from ALL participation in brigade activities (callouts, HR's, com-ed, training and social functions).
During the flood emergencies of 2020/21/22 the RFS totally banned un-Covid-vaxed volunteers from participating in 'strike teams' and other sorts of emergency response strategies to assist other agencies (SES, VRA, Army, Police, etc.)
What made it even worse was the brigade captain at the time (until the 2023 AGM) totally ignored my concerns and treated my extensive years of being a volunteer in the RFS like it meant nothing. This combined with the NSW government treating RFS volunteers like unpaid employees instead of actual volunteers sealed the deal.
At one time the RFS claimed to have '70000 volunteers'. I reckon the true number post Covid vax mandate would be 1/4 of that, or less, following how the Covid vax mandate drove so many people out of the service for good.
