In My Loving Service to You

Inspired by Sri Chimnoy, from Seventy Seven Thousand Service Trees

The beauty of self-giving
Eventually grows into
The fragrance of God-becoming.

Sri Chinmoy, Seventy Seven Thousand Service Trees, part 10, #18

In my loving service to you
Let me be gratified in depths before unknown
Unreached by chimes of playful servitude

Let me experience the need of my soul
To give truly, unexceptionally, perfectly
Without the mask of human intervention

Let me be released through giving to the joy of your true gratitude
That welcomes all who come with gentle determination to be truly free

In my loving service to you
Let me be taken apart and rendered unimaginable without you

In my loving service to you
Let me at last in sincerity abide
Let me at last to your wholeness attend
Let me at last bequeath my wanting to your waiting heart
And commit at last to wanting only you

Your intrinsic heaven is your constant gift to all who seek for meaning in it’s only home
Your intrinsic wholeness is the life that beats it’s constant glorious drum
Harmonising with Itself, attuning to it’s own accession with everything that it counts in as it’s own

Allow me to include myself in this heavenly, uniting chorus.
Allow me to experience myself as truly part of your whole, expressive joy

Help me allow myself release of every boundary I have clung to
As I learn to give myself, through my loving service
To the guiltless ardour of your eternally encompassing arms

Heaven is the decision I must make. I make it now and will not change my mind, because it is the only thing I want.

A Course in Miracles – Lesson 138

Be Nothing

Be nothing
Being nothing
Is being Everything

Be nothing here
If you are something in a place of nothing
You are nothing in a place of Everything

How to be nothing?
Well, don’t be something!
Divest yourself momentarily of the need to be something
Divest yourself entirely of the need to be anything

Be nothing
Let Everything show you what you are
How can Everything show you One-thing
If you’re already something (that is nothing?)

You are already Everything!
Beyond That is nothing!
Outside That is nothing.

You, here, now, divested of everything
Be Nothing
Know Nothing
See Nothing
Let yourself be shown Something

That is My Mind

Space
Infinite glorious spaciousness
That is my mind

That table is my mind
That war is my mind

Crashing clashing
Conflict of tortured souls
Intricate beauty
Beyond my false projection
That is my mind

Happiness
Joyful expansive reflection of light
That is my mind

Terrible contraction of space-time
Ignorance
Death urge
Panic-stricken
Desperation
Anguish
That, that is my mind

Contemplative
Gentle
Peace
Renowned enlightened expression
Deep wisdom
Truth

That is my mind

Murderous raging rampage
Sultry sensual temptress
Indignant hostile fire
Cool, cold-shouldered turning away

Pain
Stabbing heartbreak
Sorrow

Vicious attack
Incarceration
Irretrievable blow

That, that pain is my mind
That lashes out, indestructible, unrecognisable angst, hell-fire raging in the soul
Temptation to drown, to crush and to kill
That, that too is my mind

The world is my mind
No escaping totality

Responsibility
Whole and unequivocal
Rests on my solid shoulders of separate self

Requires
Desperately seeks
Desires conversion

Receives totally
In its totality

Perfectly simple
Affording perfect peace

Separate self
Alone in guilt
Whole mind
Releasing all of form

Ministry beginning
Wholeness awakening in the one that says
That, that, that is my mind
