SERVICE [a poem]

A disciple is working all alone and by himself
In the effort of making contact with his Higher-self
For this is his door into the spiritual world
Where he can be of more help to the physical world

On its own plane the Soul is love-wisdom in union
And service is the expression of this soul dominion
From Buddha, Christ and the Masters of Wisdom
To the lowest awakened souls in the Kingdom

As the Soul takes control of its vehicle on earth
That service to humanity comes to birth
As a natural part of its expression
In life through its spiritual progression      

The disciple will care less for himself     
And think more in line of the not-self
What is good for the group and majority
Will take first priority

This leads to service with the Brotherhood  
That will lead to spiritual manhood
And assistance to the Plan of evolution
Without any illusion 

Spiritual growth and the lifting of the human race
Will bring in a New World Order phase
Where the need of the world in transition 
Is more important than anybody’s ambition

Even spiritual happiness becomes a vanity              
To be replaced by carrying the cross of humanity    
Only if the disciple’s consciousness is in such a mood   
Can he be part of the Great White Brotherhood

Such is the spiritual journey and goal
To give expression to the purpose of the soul
That will result into greater efficiency in service
As part of the New Group of World Servers

Thus the disciple is going nowhere
Unless he expresses in service somewhere
Through self-forgetfulness and woe
“By their deeds, they shell be known.”
