Service according to Dhyana (Repost taken from KAS Website)

[Guest guest]

All:

I was trying to reach Dhyana regarding The Little Shoppe of Shakti, as I do

believe the shoppe is her brain child...but look at this beautiful artwork which

found me, in addition to her stained glass pieces. (I hope it's ok that I'm

reposting this. It's taken directly from the KAS website.)

 

Dhyana on: Service

In the early days when I first moved into serving others I would look for

opportunities every day. The smallest thing that would appear to me I would jump

at. People were afraid to mention things to me because I would be all over them.

Ah, those were the young days!

 

As I grew in being a Servant opportunities would come that would show me things

that were in no way what I wanted to do. I didn't recognize them as

opportunities at first. I just saw them as awful, and would run in the other

direction! After a while I began to feel deep pangs of " conscience " when I would

pass by these " opportunities. " I recognized I was being called to do these

things that were so distasteful to me. In finally surrendering to them I began

to see that these were the real acts of service because I was going beyond

myself in what I was willing to give to another.

 

Then the opportunities would become very subtle, and easily missed. And if I

missed them a deep ache would begin in my heart. Sometimes I had to cry to

release it, and promise myself that I would do better. I found that my heart was

really becoming a part of this, in fact it was leading me. It would see things

that my eye couldn't. And so I began to listen to it more instead of going by

sight. The Service bagan to deal with issues of the human heart, as well as

physical needs. I learned when a hug was needed, or a touch, a word, a

look...nothing more.

 

I found Service becoming a state of being " available', no matter what the

situation was. The other was the focus, and what was revealed to do. It felt

like being a glove on the hand of the Divine.

 

I no longer go looking for things, they come to me. The present moment is a

split second, and so much can be missed if the attention is elsewhere. In being

a Servant I've learned how loving God is, and how much that Love wants to move

into the world. How much the tiniest need is noticed, and cared about. So, the

more we become available, the more Love can enter the world. With each act of

Service we add momentum to the River. Nothing is too small.

 

Thanks for listening. Love and hugs, dhyana
