One should also realise that such organisations have not been established to publicise and propagate the name of Sathya Sai. Unfortunately, in the world today, many organisations have come up that have not been caring for discipline, and due to the indiscipline which they have propagated, they have ruined belief in God and theism, and have propagated atheism. In order that such a thing should not take place, we have established these ideals and have enforced strict discipline in the Sathya Sai Organisations. Let us consider some other organisation that is involved in improper and unrighteous practices. Then the members of the Sathya Sai Organisation cannot go and tell them that they are doing improper or incorrect things. They will turn around and ask, “Who are you? How do you have the right to tell us that we are doing improper things”? Hence, so that the members of the Sathya Sai Organisation acquire the right to correct the improper conduct of other organisations, they must discipline themselves first. That is the reason why we have established a strict code of conduct and discipline for the members of the Sathya Sai Organisation. It is in order that we may have the opportunity to correct the incorrect behaviour of other organisations and set them along the right path that the Sathya Sai Organisation has been established with a code of conduct. It is not for the sake of Sathya Sai. The right for you to correct someone else will come to you only when you observe the discipline, either as an office bearer or a member of the Sathya Sai Organisation.
