Dear friends. There are many stories written about how one should never put themselves 'above' another, in thoughts or in actions! That is, of course, if you are serious about transcending the lower ego and moving deeper within your spiritual-Self. For those of us who are aware that this incarnation into flesh is to progress towards a higher life in consciousness, and become enlightened through our many experiences on Earth, we make use of every situation that arises that can show us what lessons we need to learn to become more humble and see the depth of love that lies in BEing both the Master and the Servant.
I was reminded of the 'master and the servant' aspect of life while I was mowing my front lawn this morning. As it was extremely hot and I was still feeling a bit weak after a virus, I mused to myself that I should be past having to mow my own lawn, etc. Just thinking that brought a trigger response from my spiritual self 'remember the master is also the servant...' No matter what spiritual heights one ascends to on Earth, there is still basic chores that need to be attended to. Like the enlightened monk who was asked by a spiritual seeker, "but, you are a renowned spiritual master, why are you still doing the gardening?" The monk replied, " I did gardening before I became enlightened, I do gardening after I am enlightened." No chore should ever be looked upon as menial or demeaning because he/she has reached a very high spiritual awareness. If love was there before the enlightenment, then love continues to flow afterwards as well!
Great heights in spirituality does not correspond to great heights in Hollywood!!! LOL When a movie star becomes a 'big name' and attains more fame, now that is a totally different story! The material assets increase, and I am certain that they would not think twice about paying others to do those menial tasks! But you never know..........somewhere out there in Hollywood there just might be the exception......perhaps? If there was spiritual love before the fame, it certainly would be a huge test of character and depth of spirituality to continue in the same way they did before. What an adventure that would be.......not to mention explaining it away to their friends!!
With everything in life, it is all up to the individual. Everyone has choice on their side. And if you worry what others have to think about you, you will never follow your own heart and become the real YOU !
Namaste ~ and have an AWEsome Day
