BHAGAVAN’S MESSAGE OF SERVICE FOR THE WEEK

Embodiments of Love!
What, according to you is service? You consider helping people in difficulties is service. No. It is not as simple as that. Your body should be constantly engaged in serving others. The human body consists of several limbs. All these limbs are meant to be engaged in serving the fellowmen and not for other activities. Unfortunately, we are forgetting this basic fact. Every limb in the human body has been granted by God for Karmopasana (worshipping God through service). Karmopasana is the only means by which the human life can be sanctified. We are building several temples. We are undertaking various sadhanas. But, all these sadhanas can give us only temporary satisfaction, not eternal joy. Our ancient Rishis have been able to achieve eternal joy through a conscious effort. Therefore, you must develop firm faith in the truth that nothing can provide eternal joy, except service to humanity. Undertake service to the suffering humanity. Service is not merely confined to health services. Service encompasses every possible help to the fellow human beings.

BHAGAVAN’S GENERAL MESSAGE FOR THE WEEK

You are Brahman. This is not beyond you. So when man is in search of God he should know that God is not anywhere else, God is with you, in you, above you, below you, around you. Why should you search for Him when God is everywhere? But man is wasting his time because of desires, likes and dislikes and thus leading an artificial life. In fact all the desires we have are a means. In fact it is one and the same in all the fields, physical, the secular and the worldly. But today man is leading his life full of selfishness and self interest. When once there is no selfishness then, there cannot be self-interest. The human life is totally ruined because of selfishness and self-interest. One would put this question, "Without being selfish how can I live?" Because you are selfish you are ruining your life, This is not proper on your part. We are deluded by the feeling that we are helping the community, we are helping the society. It is not a help but is a hurt. You are harming! You are hurting! In the name of society and help that you have been thinking, deluding, you are harming the society. What is this society? Bhagavan said the other day "Individual is first, association next and spirituality last - third" Bhagavan says spirituality in the beginning, association next and individual last. This individual is ‘I’, association ‘A’, spirituality ‘S’. The harmony of these three principles is SAI – ‘S’.‘A’.‘I’. Therefore man should keep in view Divinity. With this Divinity you can join the association. In association then you will start investigating your true self. Then you will know who you are in the true sense. Once you know your true nature you can understand what society is. When you understand society then you can understand the Cosmic Principle of Divinity.

THE FAMOUS WORDS OF BHAGAVAN SRI SATHYA SAI BABA

Serve the poor with love. That alone can redeem you. Service to the poor is service to God. Sacrifice your life for the cause of the poor. Service to the poor is My only motto. I have no other desires. I am prepared to sacrifice even My life to serve the poor. Do atleast one thousandth part of what Swami is doing. Of what use is human life if it is not spent in the service of the poor?

HELPING SWAMI’S MISSION

Eventhough the Sathya Sai Organization does not entertain any collection of money from its members and public by canvassing and advertising. It is worth that at least a word of swami’s projects should be known to public so any good soul can think of donating any money to those projects. Swami’s projects need wide support from the global community. Help ever Hurt Never. Jai Sai Ram.

SOME OF BHAGAVAN SRI SATHYA SAI BABA’S MAJOR PROJECTS

Avathars are engaged in selfless service (seva); that is why Avathars happen. Offering service to mankind pleases Avathars. ... I am active and busy twenty-four hours a day. ... I have never craved a minute's rest or sleep or relief.
