We must remember our true service is that of essence, of our being, and service of action flows primarily from our connection with that being, not from our intellectual analysis of the outward situation or the emotional imperatives of our personal desire. In other words, to sum all this up, the road to hell is paved with good intentions because we are impatient with, and dishonest about, our true intentions, which are often not merely to serve another but to serve ourselves in some subtle way that we may not recognize. That is why reflecting in meditation on unexpected outcomes from our service is so crucial -- by learning more about ourselves, we become more able to help when needed and refrain when not needed.
I highly recommend this Hatonn/Latwii session as a partial study of this dynamic.
So wise, jeremy, thank you
