What are you in service to?

I have been rereading, " The Most Important Thing" by spiritual teacher Adyashanti, and it was on the second reading that this statement really resonated with me. This is a very difficult concept to embrace especially for a spiritual guy like me. Someone who knows that he is spending his life helping people solve some pretty difficult problems. I of course am in service to good, so I thought. This is not something that I would speak out loud yet it was definitely a part of my internal narrative.  
What I have found recently is that it is possible to do good work without being entirely clear about why I do it.  There is a certain "ideology of the good" that is fairly easy to slip into and the assumption that because you help people, how you do it is not as important.​
