How does Sai Baba's perspective on heaven and earth guide the long-term goals of a spiritual community?

📖 Chapter 37

Chapter 37 explains that a spiritual community should not be focused on attaining a heavenly abode. Sai Baba teaches that sensual pleasure is the same whether in heaven or hell, comparing Indra in his garden to a donkey in a dung-heap. Instead, the earth-world is of profound importance. Even a fleeting life here, when every action is offered to God, leads to a state of fearlessness. Therefore, a community's goal should be devotion and right action in the present, rather than striving for a celestial reward from which one eventually falls.
