of self; that I may

THE BOND OF SELFLESSNESS -
"Make us servants of Your will and grant us a bond of selflessness, that this may truly be Your work, not ours - in order that no addict, anywhere, need to die from the horrors of addiction." (The Basic Text,p. xi on the self)
"Do some
selfless service
for people who are
in need. Consider the
whole picture, not
just our little
selves."
- Nina Hagen (1955 - ) German musician/lead vocalist
