Find out the difficulties and troubles burdening others and help them to the extent you can to tide over them; and also to lead their lives such that they may not recur. Learn to live with others sharing your joys and sorrows; be forbearing, not overbearing. When you live together in amity, the village will be happy and safe; and when the villages are well-knit and strong, the nation too will be strong and impregnable. Jealousy, anger, hatred and greed will disintegrate a nation and make it fall into disorder and distress. Drive away the divisive forces that keep one away from another, and prevent hearty cooperation and mutual help. Inculcate discipline in the field of Sadhana also and insist on people performing their duty to themselves and to their destiny. Devotion is like the head, duty is the trunk and discipline is the feet. Let devotion be linked with duty and led by discipline; then, success is certain.

- Divine Discourse, Mar 16, 1973.

A nation's well-being or troubles are dependent on the actions of the people.
Actions are related to people's thoughts. - Baba

The study of texts might remove some wrong notions and induce some right resolutions. But it cannot confer the vision of Reality. Meditation is key to the Atmic treasure which is your real wealth. Your ego always obstructs, even when you meditate. When Sister Nivedita asked for advice from Swami Vivekananda on how to gain one-pointedness during meditation, he said, "Do not allow Margaret Noble to come between you and God!" Margaret Noble was herself. Niveditameans ‘offering’. So Swami Vivekananda advised, "Offer yourself fully to God." This total offering cannot emerge from scholarship. The scholar is polluted by ego; he delights in tabulating pros and cons, raises doubts, disturbs faith and mixes secular and worldly matters with spiritual. Many worship God for worldly gains. Prayers to God must be for spiritual progress. Therefore, cultivate virtues without delay and be free from evil habits, thoughts, words and deeds. Grow in love. This is the way to Ananda (bliss).

- Divine Discourse, Jul 27, 1980.

Remove the roots of the weed of egoism from the field of your heart
- that is enough Sadhana. - Baba

Devotion should not be confined to the four walls of the shrine-room, or the few minutes you perform meditation (Dhyana). It is a full time spiritual practice (Sadhana). Your devotion has to be expressed as worship of every living being as a living embodiment of Divinity. See God in every one, even in persons whom you regard as your enemies. Practise that broad and inclusive type of Love. How can you derive happiness by showing love and reverence to a stone idol that does not respond or reflect the feelings? Living beings will return appreciation and gratitude and wish you well. You can see joy growing in their faces. That will confer satisfaction on you. If you cannot educate yourself to love your fellow man, how can you follow the path of dedication to God?

- Divine Discourse, Mar 16, 1973.

Practice the vocabulary of love – unlearn the language of hate and contempt. - Baba

Nurture the will to give, the will to renounce the little for the big and the momentary for the sake of the momentous! The Sevadal badge you wear is not a decoration item which can be secured without a price. It is a symbol of high character, generous feelings and steady and sincere endeavour. It is the external indicator of internal enthusiasm and strength, skill and faith. As iron is drawn by the magnet, and when you allow these qualities to shine through you, it will draw the dejected, the downcast and the distressed towards you. If you are proud and self-centred, blind to the kinship that binds all in fraternal love, the badge is a betrayal. Mere sentiment and empathy are of no use; they must be regulated by intelligence and skill. It is not the quantity of service you do that matters; nor is the variety. It is the inner joy, the love that you radiate that is important.

- Divine Discourse, May 19, 1969.

The best way to love God is to love all, serve all. - Baba

Eating must be succeeded by elimination; inhalation has to be followed by exhalation; blood must flow in and flow through, to circulate and maintain health. Taking in and giving up are the obverse and reverse of the same process. This is true of individuals, societies, nations and the human race. Progress and peace depends on sacrifice, renunciation and service. Be alert to the call to serve, everywhere, at all times; be ready with a smile, a kind word, a useful suggestion, diligent care, and a pleasant reply. Look around for chances to relive, rescue or resuscitate. Train yourselves that you may render help efficiently and well. Seva plants a seed on stone and is delighted to see it sprout! Plant it with love, and the seed will discover love inside the stone and draw sustenance therefrom. Seva is the most rewarding form of austerity, the most satisfying and the most pleasurable. It springs out of love and scatters love in profusion.

- Divine Discourse, May 19, 1969.

True sacrifice is sharing with others one’s wealth, strength and qualities,
which are derived from society. - Baba
