What is the true essence of Seva – Sathya Sai Speaks While doing service, it is not enough if you alone have satisfaction but you should bear in mind that the person who is receiving this service from you should be satisfied. You must first try and understand and interrogate yourself if by your service you have caused any inconvenience, harm or hurt to others. The members of the Sathya Sai Sevadal should promulgate and propagate the ideals of Sathya Sai Seva and thus they should broaden their own mind. To serve only human beings cannot be called complete service. To be able to serve even other living beings will also be called service. Eshwara is present in all living things. You must first recognize this truth that Eshwara is present in every living thing. It is only when such faith is firmly implanted in your mind, your service will become fruitful and you will attain salvation. But if you do not have such faith, any service that you may render is not going to be fruitful. Divine Discourse, Nov 16, 1975 #sathyasai #saibhakta
