In plain words
We must see that a fitting income comes. Why did He give you this body and send you into the world? For the good of others. He did not send you for yourself. He sent you to serve others. So everyone must feel, ‘I must become a servant’. ‘I must become the servant of servants. Service to the servants is what I must do’: so we must think. I must be the servant of servants. Why must one become a servant? If first you think you are a servant, you become God's servant. ‘Dāsoham.’ Within this Dāsoham you are offered up to God. When you are offered up like that, you remove the ‘da’. Then ‘Soham’ remains. You yourself become God. First of all one must become God's servant. Servanthood goes. The principle of Soham remains. So people are members of God's creation! Go on doing their service. Step by step you yourself will turn into Soham. So we must go into the villages, inquire well into the hardships of the villagers and into the difficulties of the villagers, recognise them, and take part in the service that brings fitting amenities for them. If you serve others, God will do you good, surely. There is no doubt at all about this. Do good to others. God will do it for you. If you do it for no one, how can God do it for you alone? God too resolves, ‘He hates Me, who am in that body, so I must not help this fellow in the least’. Bodies are separate and different. So, if first we put away this attachment to the body and develop attachment to the Ātma, this feeling called equality will grow in everyone.
If we are to know the Sai principle, we must first enter into service
First of all we must arrange for pure water to reach the village. That very water is the breath of life. Next, cleanliness of the village. There is nothing beyond cleanliness. From it comes health. We must raise enthusiasm in the people.
