The Greatest Service

[isis]

The offering of self to Creator is the greatest service,...

How exactly does one offer themselves to the Creator?

If it's impossible not to serve then what's the point in offering the self to the Creator? Maybe it has something to do with showing that you're willing - despite having no say in the matter?

I took a nap after posting that question (my 1st post in this thread) & then I dreamed that I was staring at my post for an usually long amount of time. After waking I felt inspired to meditate on my question. How exactly does one offer themselves to the Creator? & the answer that came to me is: With words. (Not necessary out loud nor written. & as often as feels right.) EG: I offer myself to You the OIC.

I agree that there's really no way to get around offering yourself to creator, since it's impossible to not serve the Creator, but I think that maybe one may transform themselves into a better kind of offering to the Creator if one is consistently/literally offering themselves - even though this particular kind of service isn't necessary.

I'm thinking that maybe it's considered "the greatest service" bc it isn't necessary?

& I'm thinking that by doing this (serving by literally offering the self) it could maybe serve as a balancing mechanism in order to allow the Creator to, perhaps more easily, pluck harmony from our instrument/body.

Maybe some offerings are better than others? Maybe the one that has spent their lives offering themselves becomes like food left at a temple rather than a flower? A flower would surely please the monks but not as much as food I don't think. (I'm assuming monks eat the food offerings...idk that.)
