Living Service: Jayesh Patel

139,844 views
"This work is just a drop in the ocean," Jayesh Patel observes."But a teardrop of compassion changes everything." So says the founder of an organization catering expressly to the ~180,000 residents of a slum community in Ahmedabad, India. In a remarkable walking interview with a man who had never before agreed to appear on-camera, Patel shares a simple philosophy: give everything to whatever comes up in a moment. "No ambition--mission!" he advises with a smile. "Don't stretch, never stretch. Wherever you are is the best time for you, whoever you're around are the best people for you. That's living in the present."

I have learned " Spirituality means see the truth, love, compassion, goodness, kindness. And I think the key word of Mr. Jayesh Patel's speech is " l learn from the children. They are very pure."
Acty,I teach Japanese language at Gandhi Ashram girl’s hostel. Whenever I study with my students, I not only teach them but also learn from them.Thanks to Mr.Jayesh Patel,they have learned "Spirituality "

Lovely video. I was most inspired by the WALK guidance - Witness, Accept, Love, Know. So true! And such a richness awaiting us if we just step outside our door and put one foot in front of another with a certain intention...
