LOVE AND
SERVICE THE BASIS OF SATSANG The work of Satsang should be conducted in a dignified spirit of love
and service. Our thoughts, words and deeds should radiate nothing but love and
sweetness. As "Service'' precedes the "Science," our motto should be
"Service before self." We cannot adequately advance the interests of
any science, far less that of the Science of Realized Truth, unless we are
prepared to devote our heart and soul in its service, like a worshipful votary.
The Science will make headway of itself if we are true to ourselves and truly
offer to serve it. In case of disagreement on any important issue among the
workers themselves, it is better to immediately refer the matter to the Master
for his decision, instead of indulging in controversies that ruffle the feelings,
cause unnecessary tensions, and lead to unpleasant rifts. It is all the
Master's work and he knows best how to guide and straighten out things. With
friendly love, we can win over even the dissidents to the Great Cause, and
avoid defections. Love can surmount all obstacles and is a veritable cure for
all the ills of the world. The necessity for love cannot therefore be
over-emphasized in the service of the Master's Cause.
