This is a chance for service for which you must feel extremely delighted, for here you can transmute your devotion and faith into positive acts of service for the benefit of your brothers and sisters. And, since I am with you in all that you do, you do not have to worry about the success of the undertakings. You have only to be ‘instruments’; you need not devise devious ways or roundabout tactics. Doing your duties as members, you have the need to preserve and develop trust in Sai too. This is Sai work, which you are invited to enjoy. This is elevating work that brings you nearer to the heart of the Divine. The conscious hand must have the inert pickaxe in order to break the hard sod; so too, the Divine Consciousness must have the Prakriti (Nature) to carry out His plan. For this, you have to yourselves lead exemplary lives. Your nitya jivitam (daily living) must be transformed into live prayers and live sadhana. Calculate within yourselves the benefit that would accrue to you from this sadhana into which you are initiated now, and prepare for shouldering the task assigned to you—to be instruments dedicated for advancing the mission for which the Divine has come. – Divine Discourse, Jun 20, 1974
