Day 17 — Being of Service
Today in meditation we activate
the sense of service. But instead of approaching service in the conventional
sense, as a sort of obligation, we will look at it from the perspective of
higher states of consciousness. In this view, service is not only a
humanitarian effort, it is a path of joy and self-realization. It is an
opportunity to grow in happiness, not a duty.
Service is listening and acting
in response to a call for the unique gifts your life offers. This call is not
based on your ego needs, nor does it come from social expectations. The call to
service comes from your universal self, the cosmic part of you that directs
your spiritual evolution or dharma. This is why being of service to the world
is really a joyful expansion of the self.
Today’s meditation brings our
awareness in accord to this vision of service.
Our centering thought for today
is:
My soul expands when I help others.
