The Inner Unprofitable Servant

Neville's Inner Vision

Your verse speaks not of outer servitude, but of the state you inhabit as consciousness. When Luke asks who deserves praise for merely doing what is commanded, he points to the I AM within—the steady, obedient self that does not seek reward but simply fulfills the law of its own being. In Neville’s terms, the 'unprofitable servant' is the belief in separation from God, the sense that your action is a burden rather than the natural expression of your state. Yet every act that flows from your inner I AM is already complete and accounted for in divine economy. No praise can add to your being, and no blame can diminish it. When you have done all that is commanded by your present state, you may affirm, in feeling and imagination, that you are not a separate doer but the I AM aware within the scene. The gratitude you feel is not for a favor granted by 'masters' outside you, but for your own realized alignment with the law that governs every moment.
