Niskam
The word kAm means desire, and the prefix 'nihi' indicates negation or absence of the same. Thus, nishkAm means 'without desire'. In the Hindu and the Sikh tradition, while serving one's fellow human beings, doing so without any associated selfish desire is important.

This ideal is also underscored in the Bhagavad Gita, one of the most sacred of Hindu texts.
