Service without ideal of self…trains you to transcend all the artificial distinctions imposed by history and geography, and to realise that the human community is one and indivisible.
That the birds of worry and care fly over your head, this you cannot change, but that they build nests in your hair, this you can prevent.
Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the real you sleeping in your heart.
Bright but hidden, the Self dwells in the heart. Everything that moves, breathes, opens, and closes Lives in the Self. Self is the source of love and may be known through love but not through thought. Attain this goal!
In thinking, “This is I” and “That is mine”, he binds himself with his self, as does a bird with a snare.
All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of inner light of the Self.
Everything is expression of our own intelligence. Through simple, innocent, natural unbounded awareness-fullness of Self, all is accomplished… Only we should not be influenced by the winds.
When your sense of self is no longer tied to thought, is no longer conceptual, there is a depth of feeling, of sensing, of compassion, of loving, that was not there when you were trapped in mental concepts. You are that depth.
