Service, what is it?

What is service? Service may be defined as the spontaneous effect of Soul contact. It is really God which does the service. Service is Love in action and God is Love so God really does the service. More than this, you need to realise that you are just a speck - nothing at all really. As it says in the Bhagavad Gita "It is the habit of fools to say this is done by me." Meaning you are not the doer of those actions but rather God does them. Love is the Law of Life and to align your will, with God who is Love you must Love and Serve. Service is Love in action. "True service is the spontaneous outflow of a loving heart and an intelligent mind. It is the result of being in the right place and staying there; it is produced by the inevitable inflow of spiritual force and not by strenuous physical plane activity; it is the effect of a man being what he truly is, a Divine Son of God and not by the studied effect of his words or deeds." - Djwhal Khul
It must be remembered that Service is Love in action, so active familiarity with the Ego or Real Man will reveal what True Service is. It is more important to live a life in line with your Soul because this is what True Service is. Don't forget to follow your true Soul calling - you might already know what that is.
