513.-514.

513 – To be master of the world would indeed be supreme felicity, if one were universally loved; but for that one would have to be at the same time the slave of all humanity.

514 – After all, when thou countest up thy long service to God, thou wilt find thy supreme work was the flawed and little good thou didst in love for humanity.

That is why, rather than to serve, it is better to belong totally, absolutely to the Divine.

In order to belong absolutely and totally to the Divine, isn’t it necessary to begin by serving the Divine?

Certainly, to place all one’s work at the service of the Divine is a very good way of approach, but it doesn’t go much further than what Sri Aurobindo describes, and for some it is not satisfying.
