Serving God

Me :  How can I serve You ? I want to make a significant difference…want to offer myself in service to God’s work.  

Voice : Why do you feel so ? 

Me : Isn’t living a life working for God a privileged opportunity ? 

Voice : What do you have in mind ? 

Me : Hold gatherings, read books, talk to people, write, spread messages, create awareness about God….

Voice : Wonderful. But, you do know that it's also possible for Me to do that on My Own ? Being God, I can be resourceful. 

Me :  So, what are you saying ?  

Voice : There is no higher or lower service, there is no unprivileged or privileged work and in the same way there is no such as thing as serving God, if you fully comprehend Infinity. 

God by being God, is fully adequate and complete. How can the Infinite be served by the finite ? How can one from the separateness serve Oneness ?  Wouldn't an All-powerful and All-knowing be in total charge of his own creation ? Could God the creator, in a moment create and destroy ? What help can one offer Him ? In reality, is this idea of 'serving God' even possible ? 

When you are offered any opportunity to be involved in the cause of Truth, you are only helping your ownself. God is beyond help. Every act of service is only an act that serves your ownself. You only do service because that is who you have become. You begin to know that you are not serving anyone or cannot serve God, but you have become helpless in your spontaneous expression.  

Me : If service is about serving oneself, then does it matter what one does to serve ?  

Voice : It is not ‘what' service, but ‘how' you serve. Love must be the reason for everything. He who never propagates about God, but lives from the deepest love in his heart serves best. On the other hand, if you were working for God, but failed to live from the highest ideal, all so-called service in the name of God has little meaning.

Your own growth lies in the act of service, not in it's accomplishment, because I am beyond results. And the only result that matters, is the manifestation of love within. 

Service presents you an opportunity to serve your ownself with love. True service is when love pours out of you because this is what really changes your world. If you believe your world needs Love, you have to become the carrier of it yourself, first.   

You have developed this notion that only a certain type of service is serving God. Once again, you have succeeded in creating distinctions of higher and lower. Once again, you hold judgements that restrain the flow of pure love. A lofty ideal to serve for God can also lie in making a cup of tea with so much love that God flows in each sip to the one who drinks it. 

Everytime you hold Me in your heart and 'give-in’ for love and choose being called wrong, in spite of being right for the sake of love, is one of the highest ways to serve. 

Me : What about possessing qualities of selfless service ? 

Voice : Why nuture any idea of possession ? You do not ‘possess’ anything. You only become or unbecome. If you strive to live from this ideal, you don’t have to worry about selfless service because in time, you will become that.   

Me : What about our repeated failures to make this world a better place ? 

Voice : You mean repeated failures to make your heart a better place ? There is no 'other place’. 

Me : Wow

Voice : Do you imply that I have lost charge of My Creation or something missed my attention or I messed up an outcome because I was busy handling an overload of prayer requests ? 

Me : Hahahaha. You are funny. But importantly, you are Infinite Consciousness...and I get your point clearly now.  

Voice : You may accomplish the greatest humanitarian work or you may fail in all your efforts to serve as the world understands, but remember this, if there was any failure for man - it will be failing to operate out of Love.  

The idea of service needs to be carefully understood. Since you come from a race that is used to classifying and standardising everything over the years, you seem to have done the same to human activity or what you call work. Social service, philanthropy or service to God are the many 'graded activity titles'. Yes, for some people it can be a beautiful and a natural form of expression of love. Each one is free to choose and do what helps them develop love, express love and live with love. What you do does not matter, but how you do it.  

The full weight of any accomplishment lies in the process, not the result. Opportunities will come into your life to make this love flourish within you. The kind of work or outcome becomes utterly insignificant, if you have already achieved the prized result of love. Then, know that you have served very well.     

And, for the one who knows Infinity deeply will know that I am already aware of the result...aeons ago.   

Me : I just sometimes feel left out when I watch and know of people doing great work in service to God..

Voice : Be you. Be Love. Because a river of love can flow only in one direction - towards the Ocean of Love. What else can be your goal ?    

Can losing the love within your heart to work for My Cause, be higher than being Love ? Having Love in your heart, is in itself serving the world.
