Service

Humility is critical in order to achieve enlightenment. Humility means "humbleness of mind; lack of pride."  Humility means letting go of our false identifications as "worse than", "not enough", "special" or "better than" anyone else.  Humility is recognizing the open-hearted, perfect beings that we naturally are.  Easier said than done, and cultivating this perspective is a lifetime practice that is very much a part of the path to (enlightenment).  A big part of cultivating this humility is through selfless service.

Courtesy should be apparent in all our actions and words and in all aspects of daily life.  But by courtesy, I do not mean rigid, cold formality.  Courtesy in the truest sense is selfless concern for the welfare and physical and mental comfort of the other person.
   - Mas Oyama

Service is the highest spiritual discipline.  Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the sleeping humanity in one's heart.
   - Sathya Sai Baba

Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.
