The Loving Response

At different times, each one of the three questions (would I do this in front of God?; is it really my responsibility?; will this increase the integrity of the universe?) is most significant. Recently the most important question has been the last. In general, any action based on love increases the integrity of the universe and any action based on fear does not. My impulse, at times, is to act in defense of my ego, a fear impulse which I choose not to act on. The loving response is difficult for me to determine since it frequently requires that I put my ego aside in favor of the long-term growth and well being of everyone involved. Arriving at the loving response usually requires meditation.
