Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam - December 15, 2025
Narration
Translated
How should we use the Sri Sathya Sai Organisation for our spiritual journey? Bhagawan, who has gifted us this Organisation, Himself explains for us today.
Use the mind to cleanse the feelings, impulses, attitudes, tendencies, and levels of consciousness. Let it not accumulate dirt from the outer world and deposit them within itself. If it is attached to work, the consequences of work get attached to it. Unattached work is the purest; it does not encumber the mind with elation or disappointment. ‘I did it,’ ‘This is mine’: these are the two fangs that make the individual poisonous. Pull out the fangs, the snake can be handled and played with as a pet. The Sri Sathya Sai Organisations must be vigilant to see that egoism and the sense of personal possession, pride, or achievement do not invade them. That is the goal to be kept in view. When an organisation is started, it has to lay down for itself certain rules and regulations. But our rules are of a different nature altogether. Our rules emphasise that members must first practise what they stand for. Whatever you desire others to do, you must first put into daily practice sincerely and with steadfastness. You must do bhajan regularly and systematically, before you advise others about the efficacy of bhajans. When you want to be honoured by others, you must learn to honour them first.
- Divine Discourse, Apr 21, 1967.

Seva must be directed towards the removal of physical distress, the alleviation of mental agony, and the fulfilment of spiritual yearning. – BABA
