The dedication to the Lord sanctifies all activities. He is the reason for all activity. He is the prompter, the executor, the giver of the strength and skill, and the enjoyer of the fruit thereof. So dedication must come naturally to you, for all is His, and nothing is yours. Your duty is to believe that He is the impeller of your activities and draw strength from that belief. Until the wounds heal and the new skin hardens, the bandage must protect that area. So too, until the unity is realized, the balm of faith, holy company and holy thoughts must be applied to the ego-affected mind.

- Sathya Sai Speaks,  Vol 5, Ch 5, 20-Feb-65 

"The Lord cares for the sincerity, not the imitation. Let your yearning be sincere, the result is certain." - Baba
