Abstract

Selfless service and self-realization are two pillars of ethics and spirituality across all cultures and climes. This chapter presents the teachings of a modern-day Indian saint who has been hailed as the living embodiment of the teachings of Bhagavad Gītā. His clarion call to the mankind can be summarized into three exhortations—(1) serve the world; (2) discover thyself; and (3) love the Divine. By examining the three universal human propensities—of doing, feeling, and thinking—into the truest of actions, love, and knowledge, the Sage effectively fuses the paths of selfless action, Divine Love, and transcendental knowledge into one unitary principle. To conclude, the chapter will present the personal and workplace application of the following principles/practices—selfless service; harnessing three fundamental human tendencies (doing, knowing, and believing); being free from evil in thought, word, and deed; leveraging the present; and stillness.
