Render your hearts cool with delight, share the delight with others, and adore God in this delectable form. When you go into the qualifications needed for seva, you will know that a pure heart, uncontaminated by conceit, greed, envy, hatred or competition is essential. What is also needed is faith in God, as the spring of vitality, virtue, and justice. Seva is the worship you offer to God in the heart of everyone. Do not ask another which state you belong to, or which caste or creed you profess. See your favourite form of God in that other person; as a matter of fact, he is not 'other' at all. It is His image, as much as you are. You are not helping some 'one individual'; you are adoring Me, in him. I am before you in that Form; so, what room is there for the ego in you to raise its hood? Duty is God; Work is worship. Even the tiniest work is a flower placed at the feet of God.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
