“The best way to please me is to see Me in all beings and serve them just as you would like to serve Me.
Help as much as you can, as efficiently as you can, as silently as you can, as lovingly as you can;
leave the rest to God, who gave you the chance to serve.
Do not hurt the feelings of anyone by harsh treatment.
- Baba
