The Divine Call is not to deceive or mislead. It is to transform, reconstruct, and reform. It is to make the person useful and serviceable for the society; to affirm in the individual the unity of all beings in God. The person who has undergone this samskara (refinement) becomes a humble servant of those in need of help. This is the stage of Paropakara (selfless service). Service done with this kind of reverence and selflessness prepares man to realize the One that pervades the Many.
- Divine Discourse, 23 Nov 1976
