Notes About The Poem

" LOVE " MY PHOTO, ©

May be an image of rose and nature

Serving Humanity V

Only, 
When one finds the courage
To sacrifice his ego on
The altar of love,
Then and only then,
He can be ready to devote himself
Into the service of humanity!

I used to say, "Crucify the ego, save my soul", a lot. It really helped me grow more humble and as you said, prepared me to serve humanity. Thanks for the wonderful and encouraging words to all of us, Demetrios. A FAV for me, my friend. Have a enlighten day! Bill

Very nicely put, my dear friend Demetrios. You're correct that our egos might prevent us from helping others. For the sake of compassion, let modesty triumph over pride.
