| Looking at a youth clicking pictures during a private Satsang, Swami said, "Just like the camera man, God is also taking pictures! You should always be ready. You do not know when He is clicking your picture." And we should be ever ready to embark on any opportunity to serve, as the primary duty of this body is to help and serve others. Everything else this body does or engages in is incidental! Swami's message to the Sai youth around the world this week:
"There is no force on earth which can delay for an instant the mission for which this Avatar has come. Simply participate in the work that is being done and partake the bliss that is being derived from such Seva.
But thinking that you are helping someone is wrong, as it raises your ego. Thank the person whom you are serving, as he or she is giving you the chance to serve. Self transformation is the outcome of engaging in Seva, and the receiver is greater than the person serving.
Do your duty with unwavering Love, seeing all as God. Be patient. In time, everything will be given to you. Be happy. There is no need to worry about anything." Yours in His Service Bhuvana Santhanam | | | Holi Celebrations at JP Nagar Breakfast Service Centre
