Without having the right attitude, service done with a spirit of self-conceit is a travesty of service. Eliminate selfishness, which is the cause of dualism and its brood of opposites, joy and sorrow, likes and dislikes, and so on. You must rid yourself of the sense of ‘mine’ and ‘thine’. If your minds are filled with hatred, envy, prejudices and biases, you are not qualified to embark on service activities. "Active workers" (in the Sai movement) should have no feeling of arrogance or ostentation while carrying out the activities. They are indeed the spinal cord of the Sai organisation. As an active worker, you must understand the importance of human values and practice them in your life. You must constantly train yourself to become good men and women, fit to undertake noble tasks. All active workers must be broad-minded, completely free from selfish concerns, and must develop love towards all. Your recipe to experience Divinity must be, ‘Offer services and receive love’.
