By the process of loving service, you can become the promoters of much joy. Do not consider any act of service as demeaning. Sweeping the streets, for example, is not below your dignity. Do you not sweep the floor of your home? Do you not scrub and wash off dirt? When you undertake such tasks, the less-privileged will also gladly share in them. Why be ashamed to be good? The ridicule that may be cast on you has been the reward of many saints; it will soon fade away. Mohammed was driven out of Mecca by those who could not appreciate his teachings. Jesus was crucified. But, their names resound in reverence in the hearts of millions. So, boldly face ridicule and plunge into selfless, intelligent service.

- Divine Discourse, December 1st, 1982.

Love all; serve all. - Baba
