tonight's question — what did your hands do for someone

Two Sundays ago, the table asked whose hands took care of you. Tonight the mirror — what did your hands do for someone today?

Small counts, as always. Passed the remote without being asked twice. Held the lift door. Watered the tulsi because it looked thirsty and nobody else had noticed.

If a child comes up empty, no rescue and no sermon — "tomorrow is full of hands' work" is plenty, and then move on. The question plants better than it harvests.

And answer it yourself, honestly and small. "I carried madam's files up because the lift was out" teaches more about sevā than any story about saints. The child learns the family's real definition of service: nothing grand, mostly nearby, usually done before anyone asks.

Ask, receive, pass the dal.
