You might reply, "I am? I didn't know that. I'm just being me. It's no big thing." Somebody who isn't in touch with that divine ordinariness will not be as open. When somebody says that they really serve a lot, they'll reply, "Yeah, I'm real good at it." That's the ego creeping in, and it starts to lower the quality of the action. It's one thing to neutrally and factually acknowledge that you do something, and another to claim it to boost your ego, saying in effect, "Look how great I am, look at what I do for you, and you're so lucky I am doing it." - John-Roger with Paul Kaye (From: Serving & Giving, Gateways to Higher Consciousness, p. 98.
