The best way to find yourself is to lose
yourself in the service of others. – mahatma Gandhi
Gandhi ji gave us a teaching of a lifetime
through this quote . I experienced it
the other day while interacting with children from prayas school . Ample
foundation provided me with this delightful opportunity to interact with such
happy souls that its going to be a memory which I will cherish throughout my
life . The whole team put up the best efforts to make the day of the kids who
don’t have much visitors very often . The most amazing thing that I noticed was
that they were so glad to see us and enjoyed our company too, more than the
sweets and chocolates what made them happy was when one of the members went to
take there picture, when they sang with their hearts out , when they danced
with us , all these things made them happy , and made us even more happy . That
feeling you get when you know that you are the reason behind the other person’s
smile …wow… splendid !
It is often said that “the smallest deed is
better than the grandest intention.” And that’s what I realized that day , we
all think when we see a helpless poor child , but we hesitate to act .
One quotation written on the bulletin board
of prayas school made my heart sob , it was written “ don’t laugh at us , laugh
with us “ How very unfortunate is that person who despite of are ignorant
enough to offend such innocent souls by such a horrendous deed . They deserve
an equal opportunity to survive in the society and organisations like prayas
are fighting hard to give it to them . After meeting the teachers and helpers
over there , I am in no doubt that they are working very hard to make a
difference in there life .
In the end I would like to conclude with a
saying by leo Tolstoy-
The sole meaning of life is to serve
humanity.
