Most part of human life is largely spent in – eating, sleeping and being engaged in sensual passions and pleasures, or worrying, fearing or fighting etc. Almost all the time and efforts are centered round the body and the activities and people associated with it. But is that all the purpose for which the human life is bestowed? If the domain of life is confined to activities related with the body, its protection, fulfillment of its instinctive desires, then what is the difference between humans and animals?
Humans are the most evolved and intelligent beings. Greater responsibilities are also entrusted along with this superior status among all living beings. Those among us, who do not bear the responsibilities of human life, are not worthy of the dignity of being called humans.
Eradication of evils, vices, wrongs, sufferings and agonies, and establishment of the righteous, expansion of the enlightened values of humanity is the main purpose of human life. All the great talents, skills, abilities and powers which Nature has endowed us with are for the betterment of the world, for the welfare of all. So you must try your level best to help others, elevate them. No doubt, you should take cure of your health, excelling of your own potentials, your near and dear ones, but your duties should not end there. Whatever time and resources you have must also be shared for altruistic service of the needy around you; the society should also benefit by your talents and powers. The greater your altruistic contributions, the better would the use and brighter would be the glory of your life…
