People should realize that service is the passport to leadership. Hence, in the service organisations, no distinction of high or low should be permitted and all should be invited to take part in service. In fact, human birth is intended for service. Whatever other accomplishments one may have, they are not equal to the joy derived from rendering selfless service...All service volunteers should, at the outset, cultivate the feeling that the people they are serving are all sparks of the Divine. Only then will they be able to render service wholeheartedly. They should also realise that no purpose will be served by worshipping God without purity of heart.

- Divine Discourse, November 24, 1990.

Hands that help are holier than lips that pray. - Baba
