Concluding this thread with Master Djwhal Khul's invaluable words (guide

PONDER on this: The attitude following action:*
What should this attitude be? Utter dispassion, utter self-forgetfulness,
and utter occupation with the next step to be taken. The perfect server is
he who does to the utmost of his ability what he believes to be the Master's
will, and the work to be done by him in co-operation with God's plan. Then,
having done his part, he passes on to a continuance of the work, and cares
not for the result of his action. He knows that wiser eyes than his see the
end from the beginning; that insight, deeper and more loving than his, is
weighing up the fruit of service; and that judgment, more profound than his,
is testing the force and extent of the vibration set up, and is adjusting
that force according to the motive. He does not suffer from pride over what
he has done, nor from undue depression over lack of accomplishment. At all
times he does his very best, and wastes not time in backward contemplation,
but steadily presses forward to the accomplishment of the next duty.
Brooding over past deeds, and casting the mind back over old achievement, is
in the nature of involution, and the servant seeks to work with the law of
evolution. This is an important thing to note. The wise server, after
action, pays no attention to what his fellow servants say, provided his
superiors (either incarnating men or women, or the Great Ones Themselves)
prove content and silent; he cares not if the result is not that which he
anticipated, provided that he faithfully did the highest thing he knew; he
cares not if reproach and reproof assail him, provided his inner self
remains calm and non-accusing; he cares not if he loses friends, relatives,
children, the popularity once enjoyed, and the approbation of his environing
associates, provided his inner sense of contact with Those Who guide and
lead, remains unbroken; he cares not if he seems to work in the dark, and is
conscious of little result from his labours, provided the inner light
increases, and his conscience has naught to say.
Sairam,
Subrahmanyam.
