Selfless service is the ideal to be aimed at. If you fan a person out of love, when you stop, he cannot blame you; but when the paid servant stops fanning, the master takes him to task. In the first case, the act is done in the selfless way, with no aim to seek gain. The desire for gain is like poison fangs; when they are pulled out, the snake of karma is rendered harmless.
