Some may insist that only Sai Bhajan should be sung, only the name and form of Sathya Sai be used. This is a great mistake. You are thereby dishonouring Sai. If you attach yourself to Sai and detach yourself from Krishna, you get a plus there and a minus here; the resultant gain is zero. Do not develop fanaticism or sectarianism in spirituality. Others may have these, but that is no reason why you should meet them with the same failings. Try your best to avoid such infection. If others require help, go and help them! This will make them realise the loving universal nature of your attitude. Never encourage differences based on region, language, religion, or any such flimsy grounds. Narrow-minded ideas will undermine the spiritual outlook, the attitude of unity and oneness which is the keynote of the spirit. Spirituality is a field where inner joy, inner satisfaction, and internal purity are always more important than outer expression!
