“Collective Action” is a result of a converstaion on Shvaas Monday Night at Seva Cafe on June 25th, 2007.
“Let your love shine, let your heart lead your mind.”
Imagine a small cluster of stars in the milky way that brightens up the cosmic flow of time. Now imagine a group of powerful individuals who can create a similar spark by bringing together their collective goodness. Such an energy can certainly light up this planet with a gleaming ring of love, even for a brief moment. So friends, let us join each other in this simple experiment:
On July 16th, 2007 at 8.30am Indian Standard Time:
1) We will all sit in silence for 10 minutes. We will pray for more love, peace and wisdom on our planet.
2) After that, for the next 50 minutes we would engage ourselves in a selfless act of service. The act may be small or big, but what makes it meaningful is when it comes from the heart. Below are some examples, but feel free to come up with what feels most natural to you.
- Plant a Tree
- Feed an animal
- Spend time with a homeless person
- Pick up trash from the streets
- Do an anonymous act of kindness for someone
