Serve the Saints.

Serve the Saints - humbly, willingly, unassumingly,

unquestioningly, ungrudgingly, and untiringly.

Surrender yourself to Them.

Become a flower with which They worship the Lord.

They take over your responsability.

They will guard you from pitfalls,

goad you in your Sadhana,

and guide you to the goal.

If you are lucky enough to serve

a Saint Who is all Love

like my Master Bhagavan Sri Swami Sivananda,

the service becomes Supreme Bliss,

and there is Infinite Joy in the surrender.
