“Replace greed by love, and everything will come right,” says Mohandas Gandhi, one of the many saints who has ordered his life around the ideal of selfless service.

In this profound and quite possibly life-changing episode of Inflections of the Mystic Message, we identify the limitations of living a self-centered life — a life that most people would describe as “normal” — and elaborate upon the immense spiritual benefit of serving with selfless intent. And in this shift from self-centered to selfless we discover true freedom and limitless joy, as is explained by such luminously enlightened beings as Amma, Swami Sivananda, and Dr. David Hawkins, amongst others.

Learn the secret of happiness that comes from giving rather than getting, from replacing greed by love: which is not only the key to spiritual freedom, but the cure for solving every single problem in the world today.

As the 11th century Sufi saint, Ansari of Herat, sums it up: “Know that when you learn to lose yourself, you will reach the beloved. There is no other secret to be learned, and more than this is not known to me.”

Listen. Live selflessly. And set your Self free.
