How do acts of “selfless service” free us from financial hardship, anxiety, depression or illness?
Tony: My path is dedicated to making people independent and self-sufficient. By everyone taking initiative, free of ego and its judgements, then we have creative action. With this action we discover that within our self-sufficiency we have the ability to love the differences and the uniqueness in each other. When one speaks of self-sufficiency this means taking a mature attitude towards life. Whatever choices one makes, life reflects it. There is no running away from all the responsibilities that we face in life. Looking for ways of simplifying and easing things for ourselves creates selfishness. By instead creating joy for everybody it is possible to build a joyful selfless service to humanity. This can be put into practice in all situations in this very moment where we bypass selfish instincts, ideas and expectations and live according to higher ideals that in the end help us to move beyond selfishness and realize what selfless service is all about. This is the joy of simply being. T
