“When you least feel like it, do something for someone else. You forget about your own situation. It gives you a purpose, as opposed being sorrowful and lonely.”
– Dana Reeve

transliterated:
Sevak seva mein rahe, sevak kahiye soy |
Kahe kabira bavla, sevak kabhi na hoy ||
Translation:
The disciple offers service always, and stays a student always|
The (senseless) egotist, with falsified pretenses, can never be a disciple||
My thoughts:
Our days fold into each other, as we focus on using our own abilities to our individual (perceived) betterment. However, history is proof to the fact that the only way to becoming happy, satisfied and truly complete is by using our knowledge and ability to help all those we can.
When we take, we deplete some of our own collected savings and goodwill to pay for that which we take. When we give without thought of recompense, however, we receive manifold in return, and the world stops to take care of our deepest wants without our asking.
Give freely, for that is the only way to receive!
