JANU: Service agrees with the patterns that bring order to the forms of life and their nature, that they continue in their integrity and their relationship with each other, guided by wisdom. Service is constantly in motion and a part of life. The nature of service exists individually when rendering aid, uplifting another, offering a loaf of bread, so to speak. But service exists in more fundamental and far more profound ways, but the nature is the same. How does one, then, resolve the understanding of serving individually and being part of the entire scheme or reality of service? They are both the same, not to see them as separate things but one truth.
All service is in harmony with life, when the heart and mind are open to the true needs of another, whether it be human or otherwise, including your world itself. Service refines the spirit, giving expression to creativity and the pulse of life. Service enriches the participant and the receiver, for it elevates and continues life itself. Service reveals the varieties and nature of life to the servant.
There are many realities of service, from the need of some to be recognized or appreciated to those who prefer complete anonymity. But all is service and is honorable when moving through life. And yes, receiving and giving service are one, for one does not exist without the other, you see. Namaste.
