Now, rural folk have become clever enough to ask, what benefit society derives from those who don the ochre robe. They expect exemplary lives and sincere, unselfish service. In fact, the sadhana of service is superior to the sadhana aimed at one’s own liberation. Worship God in His manifestation as mankind. Every one is a child of God, whatever the colour, caste, creed, the language. This sense of unity has to be fostered. This is the real religion (matham), the true goal (abhimatam) the fulfilment of your vow (vratam), the fruit of hunmanity, faith (Manava matham). Service to man is worship of God. (SSS Vol.20, p. 5)
