In order to deserve the sacred name, seva (service), the activity must be freed from all attachment to the self, and based on firm faith in the Divine resident in every being. Seva has to be considered as worshipping the form that God has assumed to give the sevak (volunteer) the chance of worship. When a hungry nara (person) is served a hearty meal, what is being done is Narayana Seva (service to God) , for, nara (man) is only 'a form and a name' projected by maya (human ignorance) on Narayana (God).
- Divine Discourse, Nov 21, 1986.
