Guest guest Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord Do you intend to be in society? Do you crave to serve it and be served by it? Then, seek the God in all; see the same in all. Yearn to worship that God by selfless service. That alone makes you a true limb of society. If you feel separate, distinct, outside and beyond society, you will run after name and fame. You will be enslaved by hate and partiality, and ruined in the end. Cast out those evil attitudes; feel that you are giving society what is its due, offering to God His own gift of skill and intelligence. This birth has been undertaken by you for this very mission: the mission of crucifying the ego on the cross of compassion. An opportunity to be of service to fellowmen comes to you as a gift from God. Serve with that sense of gratitude, for it is God who accepts it from you. Prepare yourselves for serving others, not only learning the skills of first aid, the rules of the road, the technique of blood donation, the art of handling mikes and loudspeakers, wiring and fitting electric line, etc.; but, at the time, when you are not actively engaged in some such activity, be busy with remembrance or repetition of the Name. Fill yourselves with God, lest you go dry and cruel. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. XI, P. 215-217. Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. XI, P. 30-31.
