The welling of your heart is like the dawning of the sun. As your heart wells with all the love in the Universe, the sun comes out. Because of the fullness of your heart, the sun comes out for someone, or many, or all.
You are significant in life. You contribute. You brighten lives, or you dim them according to your light. May you brighten lives. Beloved, it is incumbent upon you to find happiness so that you may give it. It is not solely your happiness that you are about. Your life was never solely about you.
If you have thought so, you have mis-thought. No one's life is solely about himself. It is really little about himself, yet that is the misperception that the world has held high. When all are One, how can any one individual life hold the spotlight? No one's heart belongs solely to himself. The Three Musketeers had it right. It is All for One, and One for All. You are pivotal in the world. You are of the utmost importance.
Certainly, you are important to yourself. How you interpret is of the utmost importance. When your attention is directed to yourself at the exclusion of others, you are looking through a microscope. Now you need a greater keyhole to look through. You need to see Vastness and the important part you play in the Vastness.
If you were making a stew, the carrot would not say: "This stew is all about me. It is only about me. It isn't about the potatoes or the celery." Nor would the carrot say: "Even if the stew were about the others, I leave them to fight for themselves because I am taking care of myself, and they can take care of themselves."
Beloved, even a carrot knows he is his brother's keepers Even a carrot knows that no carrot is an island unto himself.
There is no reward in self-centeredness. There is reward in becoming part of a wonderful stew. Play your part, beloved, and season and blend the stew well. It is upon you that the stew of life depends. You cannot be self-seeking. You are to be God-giving.
Whether you like it or not, choose it or not, you are integral to life on Earth for all. You are not the only one, yet you are a key player. You hold the golden key. And now I ask you to turn it. You turn it in your heart. You are here to shower blessings for all.
You contribute whether you are silent or speak aloud. You contribute no matter who you are or where you are. The world's view of your capacity is short-sighted. You are the holder and precursor of the world. You are its instructor and revealer.
You never get a day off or a two weeks' vacation. You are never by yourself, and your thoughts, with or without action, set the pace and tone for the day and for the world. You are a prime motivator. You are never invisible. You are a mainspring of the Universe. You are a mood-setter. Whether you accept it or not, you are a server of the Universe, and you serve all. You are inevitably serving.
You organize the Universe. You tell it what to do and how to be. Uplift yourself, and you will automatically uplift all. It is incumbent upon you to set the dial of life on Earth. This is your assignment. Do you accept?
