They (educational and social service organisations run by Baba) are designed to put the new generation on the Sai path of truth, righteousness, peace, love and non-violence. Their motto - Work is worship and duty is God. Seek to bring in the new social order namely, right action. (S&M, p. 249)
All the scriptures you study diligently will reveal that the Sai path is the truth. Exploring the purport of all the Vedas you will find the true path in Sai’s words. All the science and scriptures will testify to the truth of Sai’s words. Chanting the Gayatri full-throatedly will prove the truth of Sai’s message of what avail is all your striving if the mind remains polluted?
It is only when the mind is cleansed that one can develop a proper vision. In our daily prayers we say, ‘You are the mother, you are the father, you are the Guru and you are the friend. ‘Who is this ‘you’? Instead of saying, ‘You are mother, father, Guru and friend’, it is enough if you say, ‘You are I’. ‘You have to attain the stage when you can say: ‘You are (God) are I. ‘This is the essence of all truths. This is the root of everything. This is the goal proclaimed by all the scriptures.
Recognise that God and you are one. There will then be no need to describe God as father, mother, Guru and the like and confound oneself. We should aim at realising that basic Unity that underlines and sustains everything. That is the significance of the statement: Eko vasi sarvabhuta antaratma. (He is the one In-dweller in all beings). (SSS Vol.20, p. 118)
When you undertake any task with a sacred heart, you will certainly meet with success. I am the living proof of this ideal. There is no trace of selfishness in whatever task I undertake. Whatever I do is for the benefit of humanity. Many people do not try to understand this and think that I is done with some expectation. But I do not expect anything from anybody nor do I get any benefit out of it. I derive only one benefit, i.e., I feel happy when everybody is happy. As you claim to be Sai devotees, you should strictly adhere to the Sai Path and make everyone happy.
When you follow in My footsteps, you will certainly achieve sacred results and earn a good name. You need not need to wait even for a fraction of a second. Whatever Sai says is bound to happen. Being Sai devotees, you should give up selfishness and dedicate your lives for the welfare of society. Fill your lives with love. Stop criticizing others. Respect even those who hate you. Hatred is a bad quality. Respect even those who hate you. Hatred is a bad quality. It will ruin you. Hence, get rid of this evil. Love everyone. Help the poor and needy. To the extent possible. Help ever, Hurt never. Sage Vyasa has given the essence of eighteen Puranas in two sentences. Paropakaraya punyaya papaya parapidanam ( one attains merit by serving others and commits sin by hurting them). This is the main principle of Bharatiya Culture. When you help others, you will receive help tenfold. If you harm others, you will be put to harm ten times more. Keep this in mind. On this sacred day, fill your hearts with love and undertake sacred activities. (SSS Vol.35, pp. 90-91)
