AWAKENING HEARTS
IN SERVICE TO THE SACRED
Community Service
The only beauty is the beauty of action.
- Moroccan Proverb
For as the body without the spirit is dead,
so faith without works is dead also.
- Holy Bible, James 2:26
The highest spiritual state is the state of service.
- Sri Amma Bhagavan
According to Sri Amma Bhagavan, the highest spiritual state is the state of service. This realization is consistent with messages from the Bible and from African proverbs.
​
There are many ways to be of service. Many are concerned and serving under-resourced communities, the homeless, the incarcerated, immigrants, those in war-torn areas, animals, the environment, to name a few. All are important and worthwhile pursuits. It is not enough to simply seek knowledge or wisdom for ourselves, eliminating our own suffering or quieting our fears.
I have chosen to serve by focusing on consciousness recognizing that everything starts there. In deep gratitude for all the ways I have been saved from myself, delivered from suffering, I choose to share meditation and wisdom teachings with others.
