Being of Service

Commentary by Peter Shepherd
service to others
“To serve is beautiful, but only if it is done with joy and a whole heart.” ~ Pearl S. Buck
Service is about connecting in a meaningful way, which therefore gives life purpose.
“Nothing truly valuable arises from ambition or from a mere sense of duty; it stems rather from love and devotion towards men and towards objective things.” ~ Albert Einstein
Self-interest or obligation is of little value to anyone else; there’s no love involved, and trite as it may appear to some, that’s all we really need. As Martin Luther King said, “Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”
“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi
That way we discover our essence, our truth, our love. As Mother Teresa said, at the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by “I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.”
The Simple Path ~ Mother Teresa
Silence is Prayer
Prayer is Faith
Faith is Love
Love is Service
The Fruit of Service is Peace

Love will always be at your core, it is a vibration which sparks the light of consciousness within you and you cannot change this. What has grown over and on top of it through the years is the veil called the mind, which can be filled with judgments, impositions, demands, and beliefs that hide this purely enlightened state.
