Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations Delhi-NCR: Service Wing
Neither by penance nor by taking baths in sacred waters; neither by the study of scriptures nor through meditation can one cross this ocean of worldly life. This ocean of worldly life can only be crossed by rendering service to the good. - Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba (Divine Discourse, 19th November 1987)
“Manava Seva, Madhava Seva”
The divine life, message and teachings of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba has always been ‘Love All, Serve All’ and ‘Help Ever, Hurt Never’. Bhagawan says, “Service done with reverence and selflessness leads man to ‘Sakshatkara’ - Realisation of the Divine.” (Sanathana Sarathi, 1986)
The emphasis on serving humanity with love forms the crux of Bhagawan’s divine mission and teachings. In Bhagawan’s divine words, “Hands that serve are holier than lips that pray.”
“Wherever you are, whatever the time, when you meet situations that require help, render it to the best of your capacity.” - Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba (Divine Discourse, 4th March 1960)
“Know that selfless service is a better form of spiritual discipline than even meditation. How can God appreciate the meditation you do when adjacent to you, you have someone in agony, whom you do not treat kindly, for whom you do not make all efforts to help?” (Sri Sathya Sai Speaks, February 1, 1970)
