ABOUT AUTHENTIC PUBLIC SERVICE

“One of the most important lessons to be learned during your mortal career is teamwork.” [UB, 28:5.14]

Thought Adjuster: “The thought entered your mind that every single creature of the Father has been conceived to be a ‘public servant.’ You witness myriads of such examples when you look at the selfless ‘public service’ performed by creatures as tiny as the bees that pollinate the flowers and the trees, and as big as the elephants, the camels, or the horses that have served in ages past as ‘public transportation.’

Sadly, many human beings expect to be served by others, including the animal or vegetable kingdom, without ‘returning the favor.’ This causes a great imbalance in your world as, instead of understanding their own status as public servants, many human hearts remain closed to their God-given universal calling and practice a self-service that cannot and will not bear any of the fruits of the Spirit.

Public service also implies teamwork, as there is exponential power in the synergy of a shared purpose. It is high time for each of you to go within and honestly examine if you are a ‘genuine’ public servant. Are you fooling yourself into believing that you are serving others, or are you indeed living a life of higher service?

Public service starts as small as serving another being. It occurs at the family level, where each member learns to peacefully co-exist and maintain a harmonious family unit by living by the Golden Rule. Indeed, the family should be the practice field for public service, the supplier of qualified ‘public servants’ who can display empathy, compassion, and love for humanity.

No service is too small to be rendered. Humility and anonymity are the best catalysts for meaningful service. Sadly, in the political arena, your appointed ‘public servants’ for the most part do not demonstrate these essential attributes, coveting personal gains, self-aggrandizement, and self-gratification. How could their peers possibly feel grateful toward such self-centered behaviors that desacralize the title of ‘public servant’?

When in doubt about how to conduct your public service, ponder the life of the archetype of public service: your Master and Teacher, Jesus. He served 24/7, always harmonizing his thinking, feeling, and doing with the Highest Good. Learn from the best!”
