"Look, we are going to build a center in Australia very soon. We have
purchased nearly 1300 acres of land. It is a very beautiful place
indeed. There are hills, and big open grounds. I had gone there
before coming here. It is really a nice place. So, can you imagine,
what will be made there at first? I know what will be our priority?
First of all, we will dig the foundation for the septic tank. After
that, maybe
somebody would think that a satsang hall will be built there. No. After
that we will build these toilets. Because I will tell you. People
generally don't understand about it. A person can take his food
anywhere -even
sitting under a tree. And a man can sleep anywhere -- under a tree or
in a ditch in emergency. But the third thing he cannot do everywhere.
So, we can make arrangements for tents for people to stay, and to take
their food
but that task . . . Well, if they come for satsang or service, to do
some work or not to do any work, there is no problem. Because all these
are periodical affairs. But that thing is a permanent feature. The
satsang hall
will be utilized only when people come to attend satsang.
Knowledge-center will be used only when the aspirants come for
receiving Knowledge. There will be a particular area stipulated for
service, and it will be utilized
only when people come to serve. But even if they come without any work
assigned to them, that place, however, will be used constantly. So,
first of all, we will construct these toilets, so that there may be no
pollution and
people can feel at ease. But it was not done here, that is why there is
so much inconvenience. They remained temporary. But now they have to be
made brick-built with plaster. Therefore, it requires lots of service
to be
done here.

And I had a talk with mahatmaji and he said, many people don't come
for service. So, you just understand that it is a matter of time. If
you are getting the time, the opportunity to serve then utilize
it, otherwise a time may come when you won't get any chance to serve.
So, whatever opportunity you have got to do service, don't let it go.
Serve as much as you can. Because you will get such a joy in doing seva
(service)
which cannot be described. I mean, it's a profound joy. For a devotee
satsang, service and practice of Knowledge are essential. You have got
an opportunity to serve. Lots of things have to be done here, and they
have to be
done with love under proper direction. So, listen, understand and enjoy
yourself.
