Living Service: Jayesh Patel

"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."

    This video has changed the way I will walk in the mornings. I will think of Jayesh Patel and his simplicity and remember to "Witness the nature", Accept the circumstances", "Love your life", and Know yourself " as I walk around the block tomorrow. And I'll remember all the smiling faces of the children in this video--it leaves a lovely feeling with me.

    Beautiful. So genuine! I have learnt a lot from his simple explanation on the word 'WALK'. And....living in the present by understanding what we have now is what is best for us. Dont think, but work.. . How beautiful!

    Dianne - Jayesh Patel is associated with Manav Sadhna. There is a link to the organization in the first "Be the Change" item to the left of the video. I'm sure the folks at Manav Sadhna would be thrilled to hear of your inspiration.

    What a beautiful man. I am so inspired by him and his wisdom. I love how he used the simple word "Walk" and made it into a mindful pastime. There doesn't appear to be a charity connected to him, I'd love to donate. I don't have a lot of money but every little helps.

    I have always heard about Jayesh Bhai and service all the time. I only know about these things because of "Wednesdays" in Santa Clara. It's not everyday one's senses get gifted with the sights and sounds of life dedicated to service. I am grateful for the publication of this video. More importantly, it felt good to hear from Jayesh Bhai, his 2 cents. "Think Globally, Act Locally". I can remember this!
