The members of our Organisation must be ready and eager to help students, the sick, and the poor. Feel that this is work that pleases Me ... Spend your days and years in activities that help those in dire need, and thus make this human existence of yours worthwhile and fruitful.
[Sathya Sai Speaks. 1974.11.23]

Let me tell you that nothing is impossible if an organised society is set on achieving it. Even liberation from material entanglement can be won through serving and promoting the progress of society. Through the sense of unity, the willingness to sacrifice, and the softness of compassion, all objects can be gained. So, the Sathya Sai Organisation must move forward with hearty enthusiasm in the field of service to society.
[Sathya Sai Speaks. 1981.11.19]

But don't limit your service to Centre activities. Make service a lifetime activity, which begins with your family. Service to those in need, performed with a loving attitude, while recognizing the Divinity in those we are helping, and done selflessly is an example of Sai selfless service, whether it is done at home, at work, or alone. The foundation of Sai service is always spiritual. While these examples of Sai selfless service may not be recorded in any report, they can be true experiences of Sai service.
