"I would prefer to make a hundred people love God to converting millions to Babaism. Arrange meetings only if they will be work done for God and not just to make Baba well-known."

The Truth Of The Unity Of All Life
Because of its supreme importance for the true and final well-being of humanity, spiritual work has a natural and imperative claim on all who love humanity.
Then His Work Is Really Being Done
If we are a means for the doing of His work, the work is often His means for the undoing of our ego.

My Dear Workers
The way of My Work is the way of effacement, which is the way of strength, not of weakness and through it you become mature in My love.

The way to help others attain spiritual freedom is far different from the way of rendering other types of help.
Awakening Their Hearts
Your love for me should have free expression in the mode or form best suited to you.
Humbly Accept His Decision
The result of any work we do in Baba's Cause is not measured by any achievement on our part, but by all that we have put of ourselves into the doing of it.
