Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam -

November 16, 2018

Why should we undertake service in this day and age? What is true service and what are
its benefits? Bhagawan lovingly reminds us today!

Preoccupation with one's own welfare and happiness is the

bane of the dualistic mentality. It breeds discontent and
sorrow. Feelings of attachment and aversion sully the mind.
The mind can be purified through service. External
observances like bathing several times a day,
smearing Vibhuti all over and chanting mantras mechanically
will not serve to cleanse the mind of impurities. These are only
outward show, with nothing spiritual about them.
Transcendental knowledge, which will help to raise man from
the animal level, can be got through diligent enquiry and
steadfast faith. This is being ignored today. Perceiving untruth
as truth and treating truth as untruth, people are immersed in
accumulating ephemeral objects, considering them as
permanent. You must get out of this narrow groove, outgrow
your selfish tendencies and learn to regard the whole of
mankind as one family. That is true service. Few have such a
large-hearted approach today.

- Divine Discourse, Nov 19, 1987.

Service is spiritual discipline, not a pastime of the rich and well placed. – Baba
