"Always help the aged and distressed. When this building was being constructed, the Rajmata of Jamnagar prayed to Me to stay in her house. I accepted her prayer and started staying in her house. There was a driver in that house. One day, it was very cold, and the driver was shivering because he had no coat or rug to protect himself from cold. My driver came and told Me. I gave him a rug. As he got the rug given by Me, he started crying loudly, saying even his parents had not given him so much love. He lived for quite a long time and stayed with the Rajmata. The Rajmata was also a very considerate lady and used to look after the welfare of all her staff.
There are many such needy persons in the world. Whoever it may be, do not make a distinction between your people and others. When you see anyone in distress, help him immediately.
Education that does not inculcate such values of caring and sharing is not fit to be called education."
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
