“Baba tells us that when we serve another, we should remind ourselves that we are serving the Divinity within that other. This is something that we frequently forget, for it needs a very big mental re-adjustment. Don't worry about it -- just serve!

It means putting oneself in their shoes; cheering them up if possible, but seeing things from their point of view.” IfsNeedsShouldMeanPersonsSelfFactsBigsSpiritualBeliefForgetViewsWorrySeeingShoesOneselfPoint Of ViewReachingDivinityServingCheerAdjustmentBaba Author:Sathya Sai Baba
