Ode to the Service Tree by Vandana Graft
I am God’s will in action.
I am God’s love in action.
I am God’s creative intelligence in action.
I am for you, you are for me, all is one.
My golden leaves absorb the mystical energy of the sun and the suns behind the suns, and during the night I glow white with the lunar rays of the silvery moon.
The Mother’s light is my golden sap and I stand strong and steady as above and so below.
And I am an Eternal Tree and my soul is able to travel the dimensions leaving my tree still standing for all who may need me.
And when I desire I open my dimensional door and I dance in the multiverse with the light beings.
If you desire you may sit under my branches and the wind rustling my leaves will tell you my stories.
They will light up your life with eternal healing, and you may pick my leaves and flowers for my fragrance reaches into your body and soul to uplift your heart. I am an Eternal Tree and my soul is able to travel the dimensions leaving my tree still standing
for all who may need me. And when I desire I open my dimensional door and I dance in the multiverse with the light beings.
And from time to time I chose to sleep and when I do my golden soul rises to the skies and I rest silently with the stars of the universe in my black blanket of comforting night. Ancient ways of God’s love and Angelic realm are contained in my sap for those who desire to seek Truth of light and knowledge of the heavens.
I am waiting for the day, when humans of Earth are ready to live the way they were intended to.
I am God’s will in action!
I am God’s LOVE!

Now the tree has been so weakened that the prayers of all the Ashram are urgently needed as it cannot survive another break. My concern is only for the survival of this most sacred tree in the world and I ask you gather all the Ashramites and those in Auroville and elsewhere who love and honour the trees to hold a meditation under it and ask the Lord’s protection for it as it is truly our living symbol of “Service”.
There will be a collective meditation on Monday 23 April 2012 at 7.30 PM IST. Please join it wherever you are.
18 April 2012, around 10.30 pm. Northern branch of the Service Tree got severed from the main trunk. The entire courtyard north of the Samadhi is bare and desolate; a kind of deep vacuum has formed reaching the sky, or swallowing the sky. Too occult for us to comprehend, too difficult to accept. It will be absurd to say “the Mother’s will”, whatever she wants to happen will happen.
What has happened to the Service Tree should not have happened. It cannot be just called “natural”. Our part in it is not small, our role not mean. I think it is most despicable.
Can this not be corrected in the dedication and dignity of the Service Tree itself? Should it not be? We shall be getting closer to the Mother if this can happen.
If only we live in the greatness of the following?
My life a whisper of thy dreaming thoughts,
My morns a gleaming of thy spirit’s wings,
And day and night are of thy beauty part.
If only our souls are freed and given to her alone! If only we can be “caught in her intolerant flame.”
