YOUTH (New Messages displayed first)
"A wave of service, if it sweeps over the land, catching everyone in its enthusiasm, will be able to wipe off the moulds of hatred, malice and greed that infest the world."
"Young men and women, you are the future leaders of this world. Great responsibility devolves on you. Be exemplary in everything that you do."
"Only youth can change youth. When the young people become inspired to be shining examples to the rest of the world, the dark clouds of immorality and unrest will roll back, leaving a clear future for humanity."
"The hope of the Sathya Sai Organization rests on your shoulders. You have got to find your own methods to deal with the situations you face in the world. You will have a lot of criticism, but that will make you strong."
"The age span 16-30 is crucial for that is the period when life adds sweetness to itself, when talents, skills and attitudes are accumulated, sublimated and sanctified. If the tonic of unselfish service is administered to the mind during this period, life’s mission is fulfilled."
"Youths have to take initiative to lead the organization from the front. Each state organization should have its own youth leader to take up major responsibilities."
"However high you may rise, no matter how rich you become, if your parents are neglected in distress, your life has been a tragic waste. If you have no urge to please them, who are very happy when their children show the slightest concern for their comfort, how can you even hope to please God? Show the parents respect with love and devotion. It is a tribute you should offer them for the great chance they gave you to come into this world, with all the wonderful opportunities it offers for self-realization."
"Tend to your parents with love, reverence and gratitude. Second, speak the truth and act virtuously. Third, whenever you have a few moments to spare, repeat the Name of the Lord, with the Form in your mind. Fourth, never indulge in talking ill of others in their absence. And finally, do not cause pain to others in any form."
"Only the youth can transform the youth."
"The future of the country depends on the skill and the sincerity of the youth. Therefore, the necessary enthusiasm and encouragement must be generated among the youth. All my hopes are based on the students, the youth. They are very dear to me."
