"Involvement in  service activities. Consider social service asservice to God. This is the best way to earn God's love. Love all and serve all. Your entire life will be sanctified in this way." -Sathya Sai Baba

Man should seek to use all the talents and skills they have, not only for their own benefit, but for the good of the whole world. Understand that society is a source of pleasure, which derives and whatever wealth is achieved in life. We owe it all to society and society should be grateful for all that we receive from him. We must repay that debt by helping at least as many people as we can. With a real focus and willingness to serve others, you can achieve happiness in any group or community and a desire to serve others will be very suitable for the power and skills to the required service. Nowadays, we tend to regard it as offensive to serve, but there is great value in operation. People are so selfish that they do not care about others, or anything other than their own welfare .When someone still thinks about her own body, his own family and his own comfort, one is really a selfish man. The only way to clear the affection is so difficult for the service of humanity. 

Only selfless service can encourage a person to achieve a higher state of humanity. selfless service alone is enough strength and courage to wake up sleeping in the heart of humanity. All services should be regarded as a sacrifice to God, and every opportunity to serve should be accepted as a gift from God. When the service is done in this spirit, it will lead to self-realization.
Engage in service activities. Consider social service as service to God. This is the best way to earn God's Love. Love all and serve all. Your entire life will be sanctified in this way. The ideal service provider is able to remove the ego; promotes love and affection, but there is one away from worldly attachments and puts one in the way of God. It can give universal pleasure and happiness for all mankind. In fact, the service is the first step on the spiritual path, for "service to man is service to God."Great importance is given to service in the Sai Organisation. All the office bearers and active workers on a pledge to show their love for God, the preservation of their neighbor, for at least 4 hours a week. Some of that time may be assigned to perform many tasks necessary for the effective functioning of the Sai Center, but some of them should be in the service of society. Both aspects are important.
The service has been defined as "Love made manifest." Baba repeatedly asks us to expand our hearts to cover the whole of humanity. It tells us that care only about their own interests and our families is contraction of the heart. This ultimately results in a narrowing of loneliness and misery - as indeed we see around us, because it is a disease of this century.
Medications that Baba gave us this disease is service. Service slowly and gradually expands its heart, bringing with it an unexpected feeling of happiness, and it begins to transform the community around us. Service activities, which may, initially, started with a certain reluctance, is fast becoming a labor of love: one in the heart extended to others, and the more people one loves, one becomes happier. it is a spiritual truth that we need to rediscover. Our services have benefited others but will benefit us as well.Baba says that when you serve others, we must remind ourselves that we are in the service of Divinity in the latter. This is something we often forget, because it requires a very large mental re-adjustment. Do not worry about it - just serve! But at least that is demanded of us in this respect is to respect the person you are.This includes respecting their beliefs, in fact it means the achievement of its spiritual identity through their beliefs, not ours. It means putting oneself in their shoes, cheering them, if possible, but seeing that from their point of view. You're just a tool of God and you are NOT a messenger of Sathya Sai Baba.
