Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 That is more like it Stephen. The phrase "serving God", is so loaded with bagage of self-denial and earth-denial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 19.1.06 i would just like to add that true self and God is one and the same. there are total 17 selves and they are all within us only. as one increases his/her consciousnesses and vibrations, he/she realises and activates the selves one by one. when he/she reaches the last, it is just melting in the highest spiritual realm and no more stories to tell. God is within us only. we do not have to go to heavan to search Him. as they say all our activities and thoughts are monitored and which gives karma in one way or other. when you do not engage in bad karma, slowly the path - which is also called the higher spiritual path or journey is more smooth and one finds increasing joy along the way. every one of us is a temple of God. that is why the Namaste system of india with folded hands, says that the God in me bows down to the God in you - unity among diversities. so serving others in a sense is only service to God. God is nothing but love and sharing love with others around you is sharing the Godliness in each other. with light & love d.k.kothari DK_Holistic_Healing/ - " Stephen A.
