Passage 5

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

Seen in this light, it becomes clear that it is best for the members of the Seva Dal to be of one age, young, and strong in intellect. If young people who put all their strength of mind, strength of body and strength of enthusiasm wholly into the work of service throw themselves into work in the countryside, the villagers too will come forward to take part in service.

Another thing: the Seva Dal was founded precisely for the good of the young. Today the young, not knowing what the culture of Bhārata is, never setting foot on the spiritual path, never taking up yoga, dhyāna or japa at all, are falling prey to unrest. They have no faith in their elders, no fear of sin. No love for God. They are bound by the Prema of Sathya Sai alone, but it is not in their nature to listen to anyone else's words. And if you ask what the reason for even that is: Sathya Sai always does a thing Himself and then tells others; with no thought of this task or that, He joins in everything. That is the thread of Prema between Me and them.

Now, we are thinking of making some changes in our rules as well. Until now we have agreed to Seva Dals being founded only in towns with a population of one lakh. From now on Seva Dals may be founded in every village. There is no objection to that at all,
