Life Full of Seva
 

Once Swami Bapa was in Bochasan.
Bochasan is the town where Shastriji Maharaj built the first Akshar Purushottam mandir.
Many sadhus live there today. It is a beautiful mandir.
Swami Bapa was paying a visit to the rooms of the elderly sadhus.
This was his daily routine. Swami Bapa always respects elders.
Once while he was passing by the washrooms his sharp eyes saw that
the tiles were dirty.
They needed a good wash.
There were several sadhus and devotees around him.
Swami Bapa could have told anyone to clean them.
Bapa could have called the head of the mandir and complained to him.
But...no, Swami Bapa went into the washroom and closed
the door from inside.
Everybody thought he was visiting the washroom.
But inside, a different story unfolded.
Swami Bapa had pulled up his dhoti to his knees.
and started cleaning the tiles with a brush.
Swami Bapa scrubbed and scrubbed. He scrubbed till all the tiles were clean.
When he came out of the washroom. The joy of doing the seva himself.
Swami Bapa loves cleanliness. He loves seva.
Even doing the smallest task gives him great joy. His life is full of seva.
