Essay on the topic serve and deserve in 250 words

Answer 1

                                            Serve and Deserve

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;                     

                   It is in

giving, not in getting

                   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.
