God is hidden and obstructed by the clouds of egoism. Getting rid of egoism is the sadhana to be practised. Learn a lesson from the tree. When it is heavy with fruits, it does not raise its head aloft in pride; it bends low and stoops, as if it does not take any credit for its accomplishment and as if it helps you to pluck the fruit. Learn a lesson from the birds. They feed those who cannot fly far; the bird relieves the itch of the buffalo by scratching it with its beak; they help and serve each other, with no thought of reward. How much more alert must man be then with his superior skills and faculties? Service is the best cure for egoism; so engage in it to relieve pain and grief to the extent that you can. Try to assuage, as far as you can, the distress of others; it is the best sadhana for the aspirant.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
