Love without devotion is a waste: Sai Baba

 

PUTTAPARTHI: Bhagwan Sri Satya Sai Baba has called upon devotees to

realise true love and serve the needy. Baba was addressing a huge

gathering of devotees at Prashanti Nilayam here on the occasion of

Guru Poornima on Sunday.

 

Emphasising the importance of unity, Baba said: "Unity is very

important for the development of our country. India has the

potential to become the world leader provided everyone lives in

unity. But unfortunately people are busy hating each other, instead

of living in harmony and unity."

 

Baba exhorted devotees to work hard to achieve their goals. A

majority of people are interested in preaching but not in practicing

what they preach.

 

"Without hard work there would be no positive results. Tremendous

hard work was required for 'Suras' to get nectar from ocean.

Initially they received poison but it did not deter their

determination. So people should not worry about obstacles in their

mundane life. If your thought, word and deed are one, nothing can

stop you from achieving your goal," said Baba.
