Service

What a great sign in that restaurant in Peru. Service is the goodness of humanity...the path of the heart. This is really the essence of every life on this planet, to be of service to others. The most important aspect of service is to understand who you are serving. If you are focused on serving God first and foremost, then it is much easier to realize how you will be able to serve others. If you don’t have the connection with God to understand what is the highest form of service, then even if you have the best of intentions, your service to others will tend to be focused only on their physical needs and not necessarily their highest spiritual needs. Of course, it is difficult to address spiritual needs if the basic physical needs are not met. However, the spiritual focus must always be behind all methods of service. Until you are able to understand the true needs of each and every person and realize the longing of the soul to achieve its true position in the cosmos you will not be able to give them the greatest of service. However, by sharing knowledge of the soul with them and helping to inspire them to a life of service themselves you will be giving them the greatest benefit possible.
