IN SERVING THE HEART OF ANOTHER WE EMBRACE THE ONE LOVE THAT CONNECTS US ALL.
Music "Solemn Sonata" Victor Lundberg
"In serving the heart of another, we serve the heart within us and, the one love that connects us all...simply nothing therefore is left undone." Nigel Lott
In the quiet acts of kindness, compassion, and love we offer to others, we discover something profound about our own humanity. The simple truth is that in serving the heart of another, we serve the heart within us, and ultimately, the one love that connects us all. This interconnectedness, often called the "oneness of being," teaches us that every act of love reverberates back to the giver, creating a continuous flow of connection that transcends time, space, and individual differences.
When we truly, with all heart, reach out to help, listen, or offer our support, we are not just fulfilling the needs of another person. We are engaging in a deep, universal exchange of energy. In this moment of connection, we are reminded that the love we extend is not separate from us….it is an expression of the love that exists in all of us. By uplifting another, we raise our own spirits, nourishing the very essence that binds us to one another.
This understanding invites us to see our actions as part of a larger, divine pattern. It’s a reminder that when we give, we do not lose; rather, we create a cycle of giving and receiving that is endless. In truth, nothing is left undone because each act of service ripples outward, leaving a lasting imprint on the world.
At its core, this perspective calls us to live with intention, compassion, and empathy. It teaches us that by tending to the hearts of others, we are also by the process of osmosis nurturing our own, and in the process, fulfilling the ultimate purpose of love: unity and connection…..in the cultivation of creation itself.
In serving another, we realize that we are always, in essence, serving ourselves….contributing to the harmonious whole of the world. Thus, nothing, indeed, is left undone.
