JANU: Let us engage then this evening an opportunity to become one with the first principle of service, that being a simple love for life, all of life. What does that mean, then?
When you truly love something, it is part of you, to the degree that you are incomplete without it. Now let us examine this. As a unique expression of life, can your uniqueness survive or exist separate from the rest of life? How then can one not be an expression of the one life? We come back again to the thought provoking understanding of oneness and individuality coexisting. Instead of just perceiving your being one with life, consider life being one with you. And how does that register in your consciousness? Life is one with you. And if this is true, how can the opposite not be true?
Most people reach for connection, aware only of their reach and lack of connection. Otherwise, why reach? But at all times, life is connected with you, and you are known intimately every second, every moment, even your capability yet realized by you. So, reaching for oneness consciousness is more a reality of allowing the memory that you already are, and always have been.
Your neighbor is your life. Your neighbor is life and is one with you, though unaware of it. Considering your neighbor as already being one with you, whether either one of you are aware of it or not, is worthy of consideration.
When you care for a creature and linger in the caring, the creature senses safety and well-being. Those that are troubled in your society and legal system would do well with some of this experience, for it would bring them a sense of connection with life and they might even be loved and valued without being beholden to any particular person.
This is service. This will heal the troubled soul and, yes, even a troubled leader bringing suffering to so many. This is exactly what the Master of Masters touched in the lives of so many. Namaste.
