Discourse Clip - Sai Inspires June 02, 2026

I want to draw your attention to something very important. This is the root cause for our country, Bharat, coming to such a sorry state today. People do not perform their duty properly. What is the use of such people listening about bhakti (devotion)? Be it a doctor or a lawyer, it is most important that they perform their duty with dedication. If the patients are suffering and the doctors run to the Mandir to participate in the Arati of Swami, can this be devotion? It is no devotion at all. It is sheer madness and foolishness. Look after the patients under your charge with sincerity and earnestness so that they do not undergo any suffering at all. This is your Seva, this is your duty. People who neglect their duty this way can never develop devotion, however much they listen about devotion. What is the use of pouring payasam (sweet pudding) into a vessel that has ten holes? The vessel will always remain empty, however much is the payasam you pour into it. Likewise, if your heart has the holes of selfishness and self-interest, what is the use of stuffing it with devotion? Therefore, what is important is that you should perform your duty properly and sincerely. - Divine Discourse, Jun 28, 1996
