3. Serving The Master
We are anxious to serve the Master not for his own
sake but for the sake of the pleasure it affords us, or the
reward that we expect such service to earn for us. In thus
trying to serve him, we generally hinder him or obstruct him.
So the first thing that one wishing to serve him sincerely
must do is to try to ascertain his needs and wishes, and then
act appropriately.
One can serve him by assisting him with the work of the Mission. The work
of the Mission is his lifework, the purpose of his mortal existence. In
assisting him in that work we certainly serve him in a more vital and necessary
way.
I often wondered whether there was one way of serving him
which one could call the highest way, or the noblest way,
or perhaps even the most loving way of serving him. What
is it that he wants from us? He wants us to 'become' that
which he wants us to become. And in doing this lies the
greatest service to the Master. He serves the Master
most nobly, most lovingly, who becomes what the Master wants
him to become.
