Divine Words from the Master Healer
Vol 3 Issue 6
November/December 2012
“Service, you will find that it is not so much the service of others, but service for yourself! Once you feel the distinction that the other person is foreign, then, service becomes patronage, it loses its savour. It fosters the evil of egoism. The person served also feels hurt, is aware that he is inferior. Such service is quite against the Sadhana called Seva."
-Sathya Sai Baba, Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol 10, Ch 20 Why should we care for the essential upkeep of the human body?
“The body is but a boat, an instrument for crossing the sea of births and deaths, that you have earned through the merits of many generations. Crossing the sea is to realise the Dweller, in the Dwelling. The purpose of the body (deha) is to realize the Indweller (Dehi). So even when the body is strong and skilled, the intellect is sharp and the mind alert, every effort must be made to seek the Indweller. So keep your body fit, strong and free from trouble. Just as the boat should be seaworthy, your body too should be fit for its purpose. You must take good care of it."
-Sathya Sai Baba - Divine Discourse, Aug 3, 1966
