Serving the nation - 1

This sharing is from a book I am reading titled `sadhana of service`. Its quite old one however, it has caught my attention and has made me to think sincerely about my role towards my nation's development. Here are some great inputs. It also gives an idea of improving contents of essays.

`The very fact that you have come over here, at the farthest end of the country, leaving behind your family ties, indicates certain things. One thing which can safely be presumed that you have an urge for some kind of service, service, not in conventional but in wider and nobler sense. The urge is positive one.  

Urge itself can have three aspects, viz (1) an urge for social service, (2) an urge for political service, and (3) urge for spiritual service. Out of these, the urge for social service can develop out of evils afflicting Indian society for such as dowry, superstition, untouchability, alcoholism, social inequality and the rest. A sympathetic outlook and a sense of fellow-feeling will make you feel that you should dedicate your life and energy to social service and try to eradicate the social service`......

`Almost as the corollary of the urge to serve, there is innate urge to transform yourself as a fit instrument to serve. The transformation is necessary in a number of ways. It can be physical, intellectual, emotional and also pertaining to personal habits. Unless you have this transformation, you cannot serve.`
