Seva is our Dharma...
Dharma is the path we follow to take action and to uplift and serve others. If we only serve our own purpose, our own ego and ourself we limit our ability to receive abundance. The law of the universe is that what you give comes back to you tenfold. If you serve, you shall win the heart of others. If you are humble, you shall not only win the hearts of others, you will win their total being. If you serve, people will want to do something for you. Seva or service is not what serves you. Service is you, overflowing and enriching another person. That is seva. When you act as a demonstrative id of ego, you will totally lose all that there is and there shall be. This is a very concrete law.

Excerpted from Seva is Our Dharma by Yogi Bhajan
Prosperity Paths Sept 1996 issue

" Become nothing and you will become everything and then prosperity happens."

- Yogi Bhajan

To realize this in your life, become nothing by serving others, by serving others you will be enriched, and by being enriched you allow the flow of prosperity into your life.

From the lecture Being a Zero by Dr. Harbhajan Singh Khalsa, Los Angeles, CA

Freedom in Action
Karma Yoga is action in service. It is selfless action with no thought of reward. The philosophy of Karma Yoga is traditionally stated in the Bhagavad Gita, where Arjuna was instructed by Krishna that it was his duty to fulfill his destiny without consideration for his own misgivings and feelings to the contrary. He was to perform his obligations selflessly, without attachment to their outcome. Instead of making superficial external changes, the path of Karma Yoga involves changing our internal attitudes and emotions -- transforming our actions as we refine our motivations. Action is transcended through action.

The Aquarian Teacher by Yogi Bhajan

The Path of Selfless Service
Karma Yoga requires one to surrender the fruits of one’s actions to God. The Karma Yogi always keeps in mind that God is truly the Doer of everything. Non-attachment to the results of one’s actions frees a person from creating more karma. An analogy often given for non-attachment is “to live in the world but not of it,” or to “be like the lotus in the pond,” whose beautiful white blossom remains pure and unstained above the water, unaffected by the mud clinging to its roots below.
