7 Pattina Dedhiyo Pattane Pattitivi
Puttaparthi, Poornachandra Auditorium (Sevadal Conference )
Description
Embodiments of Love! Whatever it is that one has caught onto, stay put till it is yours, Whatever it is that one has asked for, stay put till it is given, Whatever it is that one has thought for, stay put till it is realised, Notwithstanding one’s pleas, either the Lord must give in! Or notwithstanding the delay, one must persevere! What is a devotee’s devotion if he turns back without achieving!! Workers can sanctify one’s life by dedicating oneself to the service of others and by fostering devotion, thus helping the organization grow.

Guidelines to the members of Sathya Sai Seva Organisations
Puttaparthi, Sai Kulwanth Hall (1996 Special Discourses )
Description
All the members of this organisation should become “thyagarajus”- men with spirit of sacrifice and “yogarajus”- men with control over their desires and not become “bhogarajus”- men immersed in worldly pleasures and luxuries. One must give up one’s selfishness, offer everything at the feet of the lord and enter the society with the will to serve the society and be happy at its prosperity. There is an important aspect that the members assembled here must take notice. One need not take up the service activities that are beyond one’s capacities but do the activity to one’s best potential. For serving, one has to have the body and the mind to do so. The sacred will to do the service and an able body with sound capacities to implement the will – these are the essential requirements to do service. Wealth, money etc are not the requirements to do seva. When one gives importance to wealth and money in such activities, it depletes one’s energy, one’s willingness to do the service and gives rise to discrepancies amongst the members.

Without praising the lord and singing his glory is it right for you to think of the glory of others? Without praising the greatness of Sesha sayee to praise others in this world is this right for you to do? Without meditating on Damodara’s songs and his thoughts, to search for the faults in others in this world is this right for you? Without thinking in your mind of Ramanatha, the lord, how can you purify the mind? It is by such thoughts only that you can purify your mind. What other truth can I convey to you good people who have assembled here.

Returning midway is not the characteristic of a true devotee!!

Structure and the guidelines to Sathya Sai Organization
Bangalore, Brindavan (Sevadal Conference )
Description
In the Sathya Sai organization we should regard Love as the essential life giving source. Amongst the members of the Sathya Sai Organizations if one against another member feels any hatred or jealousy or even a difference of opinion this will result in being a sin. This will be like betraying the organization itself. We should make an attempt to remove from us such bad thoughts. People who have such ideas and such thoughts have no right to enter the organization.
