SERVICE
Just as desire is an instinct of
our bodies,
service is an instinct of the Soul;
An urge toward group
righteousness,
as the Spirit does unfold.
Love is the glue that binds the
group,
and the tool of all who serve;
Rendering Beauty unto the
beloved,
even those who are undeserved.
The server's plan is the Divine
Plan,
lending aid were aid is due;
Blending insight and Wisdom and
hopes of Grace,
with strong effort and courage too.
Selfishness gives way to
selflessness,
when service takes place of greed;
Sacrifice becomes a Law of
Life,
providing for those in need.
Yet, one must take care not to fall
in the trap,
laid by glamours that encloud the Path;
Even altruism may by selfish,
if the fruits bear attachment's cruel wrath.
Only by taking heed to the soul's
impulses,
does the servant serve the Way;
Only by serving the highest
Truths,
does the soul shine its Golden Ray.
