Two attainments mark out a service volunteer - absence of conceit and presence of love. Service to those needing help makes you the comrade of all, irrespective of other considerations. Be looking all around you, all the time, even beyond the horizon of your allotted tasks, for any extra chance to serve. An old man may be stranded in the hot sun, a paralytic may be casting his eyes for a chair, a child may be wailing for its parent, a mother may be clamouring for water to slake her thirst... - watch for these, and run towards them, with a smile and a word of cheer!
- Divine Discourse, Feb 21, 1971.
