Do not serve for the sake of rewards,
attracting attention, or earning gratitude,
or from a sense of pride at your own
superiority in skill, wealth, status or authority.
Serve because you are urged by love.
When you succeed, ascribe the success
to the Grace of God, who inspired you
as the Love principle within you.
When you fail, ascribe the failure
to your own inadequacy, insincerity or ignorance.
Examine the springs of action,
disinfect them from all traces of ego.
Do not blame the recipient of the service,
or your collaborators and co-workers, or God.
