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

It is clear that we think alike, my dearest friend, Bill. This is because we are inspired by the same source! Blessings!

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.
