========================================== Service to man is more valuable than what you call "service to God."---------God has no need of your service.---------Please man,--and you please God.---------The Vedas sing of God as having a thousand heads,--thousand eyes and thousand feet.---------That is to say,--all beings are He;----they are not distinct from Him.---------Note that it is not said that He has a thousand hearts,--for,--there is but one heart.---------EACH BEING IS A LIMB IN THE BODY OF GOD.---------WHEN—YOU—TEND—TO—THE--LIMB,----YOU—TEND—TO—THE--INDIVIDUAL;----SIMILARLY,----WHEN—YOU—SERVE--MAN,----YOU—SERVE--GOD. = LORD SRI SATHYA SAI ========================================== The mind is but a pattern of desires,--a composite of the warp and woof of plans and resolutions.---------It has immense potentiality to create manifold images.---------Imagination hides the truth,--it fogs the intellect,--perverts the vision and deviates the aspirant from the spiritual path.---------Desire creates a mirage,--it imposes beauty and clothes things with desirability.---------To escape from the clutches of desire,--which gives birth to the brood of anger,--hatred,--malice,--greed,--envy,--faction,--falsehood,--etc.,----one has to cleanse his consciousness by prayer and Sathkarma (noble activity).---------SEVA--(--SELFLESS—SERVICE--)—IS—THE—BEST—SADHANA-- (--SPIRITUAL—ENDEAVOUR--)—FOR—ELIMINATING—THE—NEFARIOUS—PULL—OF—THE—MIND—TOWARDS--DESIRES. = LORD SRI SATHYA SAI ==========================================
