You are trying through various means to live and spread the ideals of Sai and the principle of love of Sai. How far have these efforts succeeded? How much good has it done to the world? How much has it helped in recognising the humanness in man? Along with the process of listening to the exposition of the ideals and of the message, they must be practiced in daily life. Only then can you declare that you grasped the meaning and purpose of ideals of Sai. Everyone must become the embodiment of love. The principle of love can be promoted only through love. The absence of love is at the root of the anarchy that stalks the world today. Unchecked self-interest, misdirected activity, the wild antics of the ego, pompous living and the feeling of envy have caused this monstrous situation. Do not allow even a trace of ego, pomp, or immorality to pollute your actions. These three qualities strengthen the feeling of selfishness. Peace and prosperity can dawn on the world only when you move in society with love, that is free from the taint of selfishness. – Divine Discourse, Nov 19, 1980
