Service is the only concern of the Serf
position turns into that of serf. Now service is the only concern of the serf.”
This is the connecting link between the Master and the serf. As this connection strengthens, the meaning of life becomes to know Him, to live in Him and for Him. When Master becomes the meaning of life, all existence (which is an expression of the Master) deserves every service from us. Hence service now becomes the only concern of the serf. In this respect it is a great blessing to be a true servant for the service of others, as
i) service and sacrifice are the two pillars to build the temple of spirituality, Love of course the foundation.
ii) It gives an opportunity to strengthen our connection with the Master.
iii) It carries with it a sense of worship.
The possibility of living in human consciousness,
where service and sacrifice in our action can be expressed, shall be the endeavour to live up to. Human perfection lies in realising the Master as Master in true sense, and oneself as His slave devoted entirely to His service. As a reference/example our Master has quoted the case of Bharata who never allowed his heart to be contaminated with anything but the esteem, regard and devoted worship of the Master. This example must be kept in view for maintaining the relationship (Master- serf), which is the true form of devotion.
It is almost impossible to move further to higher regions, without Master’s help, because service becomes very difficult & pivotal to perform and without which progress in spirituality becomes impossible.
