Why should we never give up service to society?
Even liberation (moksha) can be won through serving and promoting the progress of society.
Through the sense of unity, the willingness to sacrifice and the softness of compassion, all objects can be gained.
So, the Sathya Sai Organisation must move forward with hearty enthusiasm in the field of service to society.
The first lesson in seva must be learnt in the family circle. Father, Mother, brothers, sisters –
in this limited well-knit group, one must engage in loving service and prepare for wider seva that awaits outside home.
The character of each individual member determines the peace and prosperity of the family;
the Character of each family is the basic factor that decides the happiness and joy of a village or community.
And, the nation’s progress is based on the strength and happiness of its communities.
So, for the welfare of the country and of the entire World, the spirit of service, vital enthusiasm, constructive imagination, pure motivation, and unselfish alertness are urgently needed.

Who is competent to accept our’s bad thoughts, and return Good thoughts
There is a soiled and tattered currency note with you. No one is prepared to accept it from you.
But when it is tendered to the Reserve Bank, which issued it, it is bound to accept it and issue a new note in return.
Likewise, who is competent to accept one’s bad thoughts, perverse feelings and evil intentions? Only the Almighty can accept them.
God is the Spiritual Reserve Bank that will accept the soiled notes of your mind and give in return good currency (in the form of good thoughts).
Hence, offerings should be made only to those who are competent to receive them. All bad thoughts and feelings should be offered to God so that we may receive, by His grace, good thoughts and feelings in return.
Spirituality, thus, means transforming one’s life into an ideal one by offering one’s bad qualities to the Lord and receiving from Him good qualities in return.

Spirituality does not mean, What?
Spirituality means destroying the animal nature in man and making him realise his divine consciousness.
Spirituality implies that one should not develop egoistic pride on account of the divine potencies in man but utilise them for achieving spiritual strength.
Spirituality calls for recognition of the manifold capacities manifesting in man as emanating from the Spirit and not from the mind. It means developing faith that all powers come from the Divine.
Spirituality does not mean proceeding from the human to the Divine. It seeks to unfold the divinity in man.
Spirituality does not mean passing from the mundane to the Divine. Spirituality means making man manifest the divinity in him.
People today have the wrong impression that spirituality is concerned with the journey from the mundane world to the higher realm and vice versa. Because of this mistaken view, students today are confused about spirituality and it appears meaningless to them.
Spirituality is the realisation of the role of the Spirit in daily life. It is a way of life.

Love for Liberation
Love principle inherent in man is equally present in all beings, birds and beasts included. Therefore, one has to place the same value on the lives of all beings.
Share the love latent within you with not only fellow human beings, but also with all creatures in Nature. This is the true universal love principle. Such a principle alone should be the basis of one’s life.
People have strange ideas about liberation, imagining that it involves going to heaven and having eternal existence there. That is not the meaning of liberation.
It means achieving selfless love that is constant, unabating, and total. This is the state that one must seek to attain; it is only when this state is reached that one is truly liberated.
In the name of liberation, seekers are trying out all sorts of spiritual paths. All such exercises can at best confer temporary satisfaction. The path of Pure Love alone can truly get you there and confer permanent bliss.
