Building a spiritual community around Sai's teachings involves cultivating specific virtues and practices. Chapter 37 emphasizes the importance of fostering a spirit of service, maintaining unwavering devotion at the Guru's feet, and learning to see the divine in all beings. A key principle is to emulate Sai's own example of holding brotherhood with men and treating women with the respect due to sisters or mothers. Furthermore, the chapter suggests that a meaningful community is one where there are devotees of God, regular narration of the stories of the Guru, and shared practices like music, dance, and worship. This creates a space far more valuable than even the heavenly realms.
