Answers
Rabindranath Tagore, the great Indian philosopher, poet and
thinker has wisely said, “I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw
that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.” Service to mankind
and the world in general is the highest ideal emphasized by all great
personages of all times. Be it Buddha, Jesus, Guru Nanak, Zoroaster, Yogananda,
Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, or any other great soul whom the world
admires, all of them emphasized on service to humanity and all life forms.
In St. Mathew’s Gospel chapter 23
verse 11, Jesus teaches his disciples: “The greatest among you will be your servant.”
However, the bitter truth is no one is ready to serve; all are impatient to be
served. All the ills in the world exist because of this lack of service to
others. Wise people say the only difference between Heaven and Hell is service.
In Heaven everyone is keen to serve others; and in Hell everyone wants to be
served.
Someone has very poetically said, 'It is in serving, not being served .
The heart finds its quest;
Our lives are blest.
Selfless service is the divinest sentiment humans can aspire. It is the only
emotion that makes him a god. Selfless service is the quality of the angels. We
can say people who have evolved to the highest level of existence, become
selfless servants of mankind.
All great lovers of mankind have served mankind unselfishly,
and they also gave everything they had to make this world a better place.
Mother Teresa, Florence Nightingale, and many more who worked to preserve peace
and lessen the pain and suffering of mankind in the world were selfless
servants of mankind. And the world in return honored them with praise, awards,
rewards, and recognition. Those who serve mankind truly, they are the most
deserving role models of all round success. They become eternal in the memory
of the mankind. The world remembers them because they deserve it.
