Tribute and its Tenets
HERE
- The manner, style, and form of my service is unique to me because the Divine expresses Itself through the personality.
- The “me” that the Divine works through reflects a soul engaged in a certain stage of spiritual unfoldment; this “me” has a unique psychological and spiritual history, both consciously and unconsciously lived.
- I cannot decide for others what or how they use what is offered to them.
- The level of my service is limited by identification with the suffering of others and by attachment to my beliefs and to the material world.
- I am here solely to offer my service to others with the purest inner motivation possible.
- When I offer service with no expectations of return or outcome, I simultaneously offer a psychological space in which the receiver can see and accept what is best for them in that moment.
- No direct correlation exists between the form of service and the level of service; therefore, the highest level of service can be expressed in any action.
- The quality of service offered is dependent upon the nature of the inner state of the one who serves; I need do nothing and yet perform the highest service.
