Questions :"One of the commonest forms of ambition is the idea of service to humanity. All attachment to such service or work is a sign of personal ambition.”
Why do you say that this is ambition?
The Divine is everywhere. So if one serves humanity, one serves the Divine, isn’t that so?Mother's Answer:To serve humanity you must know better than the Divine what must be done for it. Do you know better than the Divine how to serve it? The Divine is everywhere. Yes. Things don’t seem to be divine.... As for me, I see only one solution: if you want to help humanity, there is only one thing to do, it is to take yourself as completely as possible and offer yourself to the Divine. That is the solution. Because in this way, at least the material reality which you represent will be able to grow a little more like the Divine.
We are told that the Divine is in all things. Why don’t things change? Because the Divine does not get a response, everything does not respond to the Divine. One must search the depths of the consciousness to see this. What do you want to do to serve humanity? Give food to the poor?—You can feed millions of them. That will not be a solution, this problem will remain the same. Give new and better living conditions to men?—The Divine is in them, how is it that things don’t change? The Divine must know better than you the condition of humanity. What are you? You represent only a little bit of consciousness and a little bit of matter, it is that you call “myself”.If you want to help humanity, the world or the universe, the only thing to do is to give that little bit entirely to the Divine. Why is the world not divine?... It is evident that the world is not in order. So the only solution to the problem is to give what belongs to you. Give it totally, entirely to the Divine; not only for yourself but for humanity, for the universe.-Questions and Answers 1929 – 1931 (14 April 1929) - Collected Works of The Mother |
