To grow in yoga and experience higher levels of consciousness, the false sense of self, the ego, needs to shift from a limited, self-centered view of life to one of concern, compassion, and connection with others. To serve others is one of the main ways to make this shift and experience rapid progress. This is what we mean by selfless service.
Sankalpa, selfish motive, blocks yoga from happening. You can pretend to practice yoga and go through the motions, but if you have selfish motive, it will be difficult for you to experience spiritual states. All true seekers need to go from a motive of winning and prevailing over others to one of love, truth, goodness, and an active concern for the welfare of all.

We ask you to commit two hours a week to selfless service. This service can be anything you choose ranging from helping a family member or neighbor to volunteering at a nonprofit organization.
This commitment is solely between you and your inner self.
