Hey Arvind -

 

It reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode (based on a

short story by

Clifford Simak) in which humans made contacts with

extraterrestrials,

and were able to decode the title of one of the

extraterrestrials'

books. It was " How to Serve Humanity. "

 

Everyone was very happy, and held press conferences

about our new friends.

 

Then, the experts decoded more of the book, and issued

a new release

of information: " It's a cook-book. "

 

Well, that's one thought, albeit a tangential one.

 

Another thought I had about " serving life " is that

John Gaddi

(incarcerated Mafioso) probably viewed that term

differently than

Ramana Maharshi.

 

But, if you want a unanimous understanding of the

term, ask any

bacterium, who will tell you:

 

" Of course human beings serve life -- they have no

choice! "

 

-- Dan

 

As Dan points it, it isn`t a matter of choice or

personal effort.

It is about taking in, being with completely, being

permeable..

It feels heavy but not in the ordinary sense of

weight, it takes a shift of focus, not being caught in

drama but staying put in Unmovable reality and then

holding its manifestation.

Resisting serving life seems to be the most common

miserie of human kind.

Because love never loves for himself.
