“Serving is Different From Helping and Fixing"
Service…is an experience of mystery, surrender and awe…Service rests on the basic premise that the nature of life is sacred, that life is a holy mystery which has an unknown purpose. When we serve, we know that we belong to life and to that purpose. Fundamentally, helping, fixing, and service are ways of seeing life. When you help, you see life as weak; when you fix, you see life as broken. When you serve, you see life as whole. From the perspective of service, we are all connected. All suffering and all joy is like my joy. The impulse to serve emerges naturally and inevitably from this way of seeing.”
