Meaning of Service
A rich man from a large city once visited a village. After seeing the village he felt that the people were poor there, so let him donate some money to each family. He organised a big camp and publicised about it. He was expecting a long queue, but to his surprise nobody turned up at the distribution commencement time. After some time one fellow came but some people came running behind him and took him away not allowing him to accept donation.
Actually, this village had a tradition of not accepting anything without doing something in return. When the same man opened an industry there offering jobs, there was a long queue to apply for the jobs.
Service means doing what others want not what we want.

Maun (मौन)
![Maun (मौन) not only means mouth keeping quiet, but it also means mind keeping quiet, i.e. no inner verbalisation. [Manish Verma]](https://i0.wp.com/vedanta.manishverma.site/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2018/05/Maun-मौन.jpg?ssl=1)
Acceptance
Q: If I see an incident that is unacceptable as per my conscience, should I follow the acceptance teaching and do nothing about it?
A: Acceptance teaching means, “accept it without grumbling if you cannot change it”. If you see an incident that is unacceptable in your view and you are in a position to do something about it, stop it from happening. But, if you are not in a position to influence the situation, then there is no point grumbling about it. If you do not accept it as the wish of the universe, you will be forced to swallow the bitter pill anyway. It is the attachment to our views that causes grumbling. Acceptance removes attachment but we may still have our views. The desire to change the event or any other desire is also fine as long as it is in tune with swadharma and there is no attachment to the desire.
