\nSERVICE TO THE DIVINE<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

No joy can be greater
\nthan that of serving the Divine. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

There is no greater joy
\nthan to serve the Divine. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>14 May 1954 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We must be always,
\nsolely and exclusively, the servitors of the Divine. <\/span><\/p>\n


\n\u00a0<\/span><\/i>31 October 1954<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

We should be in no other
\nservice but in God’s alone. <\/span> <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

Above all preferences we
\nwant to be at the service of the Divine. <\/span><\/p>\n

To be at the Divine’s
\nservice is the surest means of attaining realisation<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(About
\nservice to the Divine and meditation<\/i>)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Both are equally good. Nevertheless,
\nthrough service one can attain a fuller realisation<\/span>
\nthan through meditation alone. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All service done
\nsincerely to the Divine is sadhana<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

And all increase in the
\nurge to serve is a sure sign of progress. <\/span><\/p>\n

January
\n1966<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Whatever
\nyou do in life must be done as a service to the Divine and nobody else. <\/span><\/p>\n

Whatever you are, think
\nor feel, you are responsible for it to the Divine and to nobody else. <\/span><\/p>\n

He is the sole Master of
\nyour being and your life. If in all sincerity you surrender entirely to Him He
\nwill take charge of you and your heart will be in peace. <\/span><\/p>\n

All the rest belongs to
\nthe world of Ignorance and is governed by ignorance which means confusion and
\nsuffering. <\/span><\/p>\n

Blessings. <\/span> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>1966 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Energy is in perpetual
\nmovement. It enters and leaves your physical being (mental, vital and material)
\nand it is during your stay in what you call \u201cyou\u201d that you must make of it an
\noffering to the Divine and put it at His service. <\/span> <\/p>\n

Then automatically you
\nwill do at each instant what the Divine wants you to do. <\/span><\/p>\n


\n\u00a0<\/span><\/i>12 December 1967<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The whole life turned
\ntowards the Divine, offered to the Divine, at the service of the Divine, to
\nbecome little by little an expression of the Divine. <\/span><\/p>\n
