Manning the Waste Receptacles
The Sikh man in this photograph stands by the waste receptacles during the entire langar meal service. He takes dirty used disposable plates, cups, and utensils from the diners hands, and deposits them into the bin.
Such humble actions, when performed while remembering God, are like spiritual dollars deposited into a bank of deeds done in the service of humanity.
