Be good, be serviceable, be useful, be kind, be God-fearing — then the confidence of the people will be yours. Faith is the very breath of victory — faith in oneself, faith in the good work one has set upon, and faith in its success despite signs of failure. Attachment and hatred are the greatest enemies of progress in any work. If someone is deluded into believing that they are saving others, then woe be to them, for there is no ‘other’ at all! The fundamental flaw here is ignorance! If only you are wise, you will know that all individuals are waves on the surface of the self-same ocean. All are One, injury to the hand is pain to the whole body. Hence, selfless action is the ideal to be practised! Perform all actions without selfish desire (Nishkama Karma)! Desire for gain is like the poison fangs; when they are pulled out, the snake of karma is rendered harmless.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
