Sai Inspires - 24th April 2008

Devotion to

God is not to be calculated on the basis of the institutions one has

started or helped, the temples one has built or renovated, the donations

one has given away, nor does it depend on the number of times one has

written the Name of the Lord or on the time and energy one has spent in

the worship of the Lord. These are not vital at all, no, not even secondary. Devotion is Divine Love, unsullied by any tinge of desire for

the benefit that flows from it, or the fruit or consequence of that love.

It is love that knows no particular reason for its manifestation. It is of

the nature of the love of the soul for the Oversoul; the river for the

sea; the creeper for the tree, the star for the sky, the spring for the

cliff down which it flows. It is sweet, in bad times as well as good. It

is an unchanging attitude, a desirable bent of the mind, standing steady

through joy and grief.

- Divine

Discourse ,February 25, 1964.
