“You should not give even the slightest room for arrogance or self-interest in your service activities. Install in your Heart the feeling that the service you render to anyone is service to God. Only with that feeling does social service become elevated to service to God.”

-”Love All Serve All” 80th Birthday publication, Sri Sathya Sai Media Foundation, Bangalore, 2005

“Service is the primary means through which the Heart is purified. Service broadens your vision, through which the Heart is purified. Service broadens your vision, widens your awareness and deepens your compassion. All waves are on the same sea, are from the same sea, and of the same sea. Service teaches you to be firm in this Knowledge.”
