Service is the Law of Life

An Original Treatise by the First Krishna

When humankind in great numbers chose to emit the human veil and shut off the Light of Heaven, the Mercy of the Cosmic Intelligences instituted the rhythmic release through the Cosmic Messengers to bring a remembrance and to sustain in the consciousness of the people enough of the Truth of Life to assist the soul and purify it on its return journey to its perfected estate.

Since then there has always been a Christ provided by Mercy, Who was able to reach into the Higher and purer Consciousness of Godliness and by and through the medium of His Own expression bring a portion of the Truth to the peoples.

At this period it was necessary to secure a Christ from another Chain because even those who had not "eaten of the forbidden fruit" were still children -- innocent as the first description of the Paradise. From this small group who did not desire separate human authority the future Christus would be developed... the Buddha, Beloved Jesus and Others.

The original Krishna, however, came from the Great Central Sun Itself and abided for some hundreds of years in a body sustained in beauty and perfection which was an expression, an externalization of all that Godliness could mean. This exquisite Being, not only through His Disciples, but through written documents left a heritage which survived cataclysm after cataclysm and has been moved by the Wise and Elect across the face of the Earth, that formed the basis for the most ancient writings and documents which are in the Heart of India and the East today.

In the Himalayan Mountains there are yet several of these original documents and all the Vedas and other Holy Documents that are based mainly upon the wealth of material which came from the Great Central Sun, and through the hands of this original Krishna were written into the substance of Earth for all succeeding generations. In some of these monasteries there are individuals who have seen, have touched, have transposed into modern languages these valuable and imperishable documents, and it is one of these that I shall now take from its cradle for your perusal.

PRESERVATION OF KRISHNA'S TEACHINGS

In this early Age of which We spoke, a very fine fiber was woven out of flax, and a similar growth which later was cultivated in the Egyptian Kingdoms. When it was bleached in the sun, it was rolled on great spindles made of bamboo, similarly light but sturdy bobbins. This material was then placed in large buildings which were covered with an arched roof and finely screened sides, where both wind and the sun could treat the fibers until they were to be used.

When the Krishna desired some particular treatise preserved one of these rolls of linen was coated with a soft wax and then the Master privileged to transpose His Dictation into words, stamped in this wax the Message, word for word, as it came from the mouth of the Krishna. The entire document would sometimes cover several hundred feet.

When it was completed the Krishna, Himself, passed along the entire Message and from His own Hands the substance of His Consciousness flowed into and merged with the impression, which was then left to harden. When the process was completed the entire roll was glazed yet it was pliable enough to re-roll it on its spindle.

To read one of these marvelous documents there were provided certain wooden pedestals into which the first side of the spindle was placed, and it was rolled under from right to left and spun again on an empty spindle on the opposite side and conversely rolled back for the successive lines.

The Krishna, Himself, did not evolve this method which was the Gift of the Golden Age, and which had come through the consciousness of the race. He used, as all Avatars, the perfection present but was not by Cosmic Authority privileged, any more than Jesus would have been privileged to use the airplane, to precede His time in His Gift.

The reason why I have given you this description is because the booklet which I will show you this morning is the earliest known written record antedating the fall of man, by a Christ from another planet Who pierced through the human veil to leave a permanent heritage to the people. The Krishna seated before the vast unrolled scroll could have externalized by thought the hieroglyphics, but He gave to His chelas not only the happiness, but the training and the share in the merit which came from his execution of the document.

There is a further and more far-seeing note, He knew that in far distant centuries that chelas having written the word could read it, and in the heart of India and Tibet the energy of the chela being in the word and  His own consciousness having stamped it upon the scroll it would take but little to reveal the meaning of the hieroglyphics known in that particular century; sothat it might not be lost to succeeding generations.

All individuals who have more than an ordinary interest in root languages of the race are among the group who either studied at the feet of the original Krishna, or succeeding Krishnas in the following Golden Ages. The strength of the word was vitalized by the Blessing of that Christ, and that makes these documents more than an historical record, but a vital, living and present force.

There are written documents at present in the hands of initiates from the hand of the Master Jesus as well as the Lord Buddha, and all Beings Who had permanent effect on the progress of the race.

Some people read for knowledge, I, Myself, read, even before the Ascension, loving to think of the Being Who left Me the Gift of His Consciousness, the circumstances of the day that prompted that Gift from His Heart, and then all the people before Me who have fed at the fount and who have left Me impressed right into the substance of that page, the light, the enjoyment and illumination which they in turn received from it, and so looking at this parchment and thinking on the many reverent souls who had previously gazed at this first figure, I find Myself the Beneficiary, not only of the Christ Who wrote it, but of the richness which even each succeeding life who benefitted by it left as My Heritage.

"To Children of God who walk the Path of Life and in the Journey seek the purpose for their being. Greetings!

Service is the Law of Life. From the moment individualization takes place the Flame begins to accept the responsibility to give a balance to the Universe for the privilege of drawing breath, using Life and sustaining a separate existence by which understanding and illumination bring freedom to the consciousness.

As the Law of one's being is Service, the experience-life will constantly make it necessary for the individual in some manner to serve his community, his nation, his fellowman. Individuals who do not choose to serve are temporarily taken out of the race of Life until they will accept again their responsibility to be conscious servants on Life's Path.

All the heartache, the disappointment, the disillusion, the failure comes because the natural drive to serve within the lifestream has not been illumined to a point where the individual knows that Service to the Godhead alone is the Law of Being and the ultimate purpose for creation and sustained Life.

When humanity serves individuals, when humanity serves a nation, a king, the presiding head of a country, he serves Form, and the return will always contain the imperfection which such externalized form finds as the heart center of its being.

When man serves God his service will take him into the presence of individuals, nations, monarchs, and he will greatly benefit them all, knowing that neither his reward nor his ultimate goal will come from his beneficiaries. Humanity who now serves through duty, through moral exactitude, one day will understand God and serve Him through Love.

The physical Sun is shining in your Heaven, humankind is the beneficiary of its light, but the Sun shines for the Glory of God, Helios (Whose aura is the Sun to the Earth) is not cognizant of the many who benefit by His Presence nor of those who curse the light that parches the fields and illumines the dark doings that prefer the shadow.

His service is to shine for the Glory of God and then He knows no disappointment because there is One unfailing Source of Gratitude and Love and Constancy, and that is the Universal First Cause. To serve God does not mean to disassociate oneself from one's fellowman nor to cast off the obligations that experience-life has caused the soul to accept, but it is the motive of your own life, action and being, just as you set a thermostat by the desire to serve the Universal Cause of Good.

Wherever you meet inanimate good, enrich the Cause of Good, but not to the point where you expect return from the object which benefits by your love to God, for your return will always come from the Sun of your own Being.

How may brave beings have missed the mark by misunderstanding the law of Service. In each Nation today there are many serving their own desire for authority in the creation of form through thought and feeling, and they must again dedicate their soul and nature to Service of the God-purpose, as the Sun does before they shall come again to Peace.

Service is the expansion of the Three-fold Flame of one's being; it is the externalization of energy waves, and the Flame will bring on its return current the vibration of that which is served.

Two individuals standing on the same spot, performing exactly the same physical acts can receive an entirely different return current determined by the Force which they have decided to serve preceding the activity.

The one dedicated to serving God's Cause in bringing happiness to Life can render the same physical ministration and yet be utterly relieved of any feeling that a recompense shall come from the object so benefitted.

Another, with equal sincerity, seeing a need for ministration desiring to relieve some need apparent in its externalized objective, does not center his service and dedicate it Godward, but rushes forward, fills the need, then, having served the limited receives back unto himself only the gift that the imperfect can offer, and if he receives none is embittered in his service.

I have come and have remained in your civilization because My Love of the Father of Light is great enough that I would bring to your race the Gift of His Presence, and when My Work is done I shall leave, but neither your race, nor

your time, your failures nor your successes shall enter into the quality of My Service.

If there be one or a million it is no matter, and one day when you feel likewise you will know Peace, for Peace comes only when to the best of your ability you are endeavoring to serve the Cause of Good, externalize it, and have no concern with any external activity in relation to its effect upon your Service."

After finishing the above quotation, the Beloved remarked: There is a note, doubtless by the Librarian, which reads: "Six hundred and Forty years after the writing of this article the Krishna completed His Service and returned to His Star, taking with him over fourteen hundred lifestreams who gained their own Illumination through His Service."

I'm clothed in Love's perfect Balance -

Understanding of Love and Light;

Determined with all that's within me

To raise Earth to Heaven's height.

Oh, how marvelous; oh, how wonderful

Is opportunity to serve.

Oh, how marvelous; oh, how wonderful -

Bringing the Light all life deserves.
