A Pen In The Hand Of God

"Gossip, Cruelty and Superstition. These three great crimes you must avoid, for they are fatal to all progress, because they sin against Love. But not only must you refrain from evil, you must also be active in doing good. You must be so filled with the intense desire of Service that you are ever on watch to render it to all around you -- not to human-beings alone but even to animals and plants. You must render it in small things every day, that the habit might be formed, so that you may not miss the rare opportunity when the Great Thing offers itself to be done. For if you yearn to be one with God, it is not for your own sake; it is that you may be a channel through which God's Love may flow to reach your fellow human-being.

They who are on the Path exist not for themselves, but for others; for they have forgotten themselves, in order that they may serve others. They are a pen in the hand of God, through which God's Thought may flow, and find for Itself an expression down here, which without a pen it could not have. Yet at the same time they are also a living plume of fire, raying out upon the world the Divine Love that fills their hearts.

The wisdom which enables you to help, the will which directs the wisdom, the Love which inspires the will -- these are your qualifications. Will, Wisdom and Love are the three aspects of the Logos; and you, who wish to enroll yourselves to serve God, must show forth these Aspects to the world."

From "Love" - At The Feet Of The Master - by (Alcyone) J. Krishnamurti

Creator works through that which has been created, but only when the created being voluntarily allows itself to become a pure channel for the Divine Love that surpasses all understanding.
