Service Wing Activities in Australia
Service to Man is Service to God. Man is not merely a human body, he is an embodiment of the divine. All acts of service done are treated as service rendered unto God. Sathya Sai Baba’s sayings are Love All – Serve All, Help Ever – Hurt Never.
Sathya Sai Baba has established His Organisation for the express purpose of giving devotees, in fact, everyone, opportunity to do selfless service. The fruits of selfless service are eradication of the ego, selfless love, and realisation of the inherent divinity within. No other spiritual activity provides these spiritual leaps and bounds other than service to the needy.

- Organising Soup Kitchens
