Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam - October 22, 2025
Narration

His Voice
Original
As those who serve under the name of Sai, what should be the spirit in which we must undertake service? Bhagawan reminds us by drawing our attention to the significance of His divine name.
The significance of the three letters in Sai should be understood. "S" stands for Service. "A" stands for Adoration. "I" stands for Illumination. These three represent Karma, Bhakti and Jnana, respectively. Sai teaches these three. All three concepts are equally important. Sai is a combination of the three spiritual paths of Action, Devotion and Wisdom. Just as the Pranava sound is made up of the three letters "A", "U", "M" (OM), Sai stands for the triple forms of spiritual sadhana. In the Sai organisation, this threefold exercise has to be properly understood. Sai sevaks have to develop the love in them, share it with others and fill the whole world with love. True love should be distinguished from attachments of various kinds. That love is a synonym for God. Love is God. Live in love. The love of God comes from the depths of the heart. Sai Sevaks should understand this love and render service in the right spirit to all mankind.

"
The aim of Seva (social service) is the refinement of your own good nature rather than giving succour to others. – BABA
