The Path to Selfless Service: Embracing the Creator’s Purpose
Our lives are shaped by a constant dance between reward and punishment, pleasure and pain. We instinctively chase what feels sweet — those moments that satisfy our desires — while fleeing from what is bitter, the experiences that bring discomfort or suffering. This pursuit is driven by the ego, an inherently selfish force that calculates every goal, aspiration, decision, and action based on what benefits the self. We live within a “sweet or bitter” paradigm, endlessly seeking what gratifies us and avoiding what harms us.
Yet, this self-centered worldview clashes with the true reality governed by a single, benevolent force — the Creator. The Creator embodies pure, selfless, and unconditional love, a force of giving that exists solely to nurture and fulfill without any thought of itself. This divine force operates on a principle of equivalence: it can only fill vessels — our desires and intentions — that mirror its qualities of love and bestowal. Like a heart that pumps blood to sustain the entire body, we can only receive the Creator’s life-giving energy when our intentions align with His, when we seek to pass on that fulfillment to others, serving the greater system of reality with unwavering devotion.
To receive the Creator’s help and reward, we must work for His purpose, spreading His life-nurturing energy without selfishly hoarding it. Paradoxically, when we commit to this selfless path, the ego that once fueled our every move withdraws its support. The motivation that drove us when we served only ourselves vanishes, leaving us feeling empty, as if we’ve lost the spark that kept us going. To become true partners in the Creator’s plan, we need a profound transformation — a revolution within.
The first reward we seek from the Creator is not the ego’s familiar pleasures but a new, altruistic fuel: a deep, unshakable excitement for serving Him, one that lets us forget ourselves entirely. This divine gift neutralizes our selfish desires, freeing us to choose the Creator’s path over the ego’s. Without this supernatural strength, we remain tethered to the ego’s demands, unable to cross the boundary into true spirituality. We stand at the edge of a dark, uncertain void, where the ego’s stability and confidence no longer support us. In this moment, we plead for the Creator to grant us the ability to exist and act selflessly, against the ego’s protests, with no concern for personal gain.
This is a new state of being, one that exists beyond the ego’s closed, self-serving sphere. Here, our joy comes not from satisfying the self but from the ability to serve the Creator purely and unconditionally. We begin to feel a profound duality: the ego’s despair as it loses its grip, raging against its abandonment, and a soaring elation as a new self — a Human observer — emerges. This new self can perceive reality independently of the ego, gradually recognizing the Creator as the singular, benevolent force behind all existence. Even this joy we offer back to the Creator, grateful for the chance to resemble Him and fulfill the purpose of our human life: to know and serve the source of all creation.
Yet, this work cannot be done in isolation, nor can we forge a direct, practical relationship with the Creator alone. The spiritual path requires a tangible laboratory — a community of like-minded souls, a spiritual group where each member commits fully to attaining the Creator’s qualities. In this sacred space, we practice rising above our egoistic nature, learning to exist outside the self through mutual support and unconditional love. Here, we collect the emotional impressions needed to sustain our transformation, relying on the Creator’s help to endow us with the supernatural qualities for this work.
The reality we perceive is a projection of our inner desires, a Matrix where others and the world around us reflect aspects of ourselves. These “others” are not separate; they are desires within us, externalized so we can observe, correct, and harmonize them. To find our true self, we must step out of the ego we’ve identified with and embrace the desires and perspectives of those around us as our own. Instead of judging others through the ego’s critical lens, we approach them with the unconditional love of a devoted parent, seeing only their beauty and potential, regardless of their flaws.
This is not a logical or reasoned choice but an act of surrender — an embrace of “unfounded love” that silences the ego’s subjective mind. By loving others as ourselves, we begin to feel their desires more vividly than our own, aligning with the Creator’s system of bestowal. In this act, we discover our true self, a self that exists in partnership with the Creator, facilitating His life-giving force to fulfill all desires we’ve made our own.
This path is not easy. It demands total surrender, a leap into the unknown where the ego’s support falls away. But the reward is a life of purpose, a life where every action serves the Creator’s plan, bringing us closer to the singular, benevolent force that sustains all reality. In this selfless service, we find not only our true selves but the ultimate fulfillment of our human existence.
