Ep. 114 – Service as a Path to Awakening
Healing At The Edge with RamDev Dale Borglum
The Spiritual Path of Service and Devotion
Serving the poor and fostering a relationship with God leads to a deep spiritual union with Christ. This concept highlights that serving others is akin to serving God, embodied in the devotion seen with figures like Maharaji and Hanuman, the epitome of selfless service. Hanuman represents the transformative power of service, embodying the ideal servant of God who achieves freedom through dedication to duty. His incarnation and personal mythology emphasizes the transformative qualities found in acts of service. True service springs from a profound connection with others, indicating that all work can serve as a pathway to God. Embracing spontaneity while surrendering control allows divine action to manifest through individuals. It's important to reflect on motivations for service; feelings of guilt ingrained from childhood often prompt people to act kindly, while some use service as a distraction from personal pain. However, the healthiest motivation stems from a genuine desire to connect with others and share in their experiences.
