Service rendered to uplift others from "summary" of My Experiments with Truth by M.K Gandhi
The concept of service rendered to uplift others is deeply rooted in the belief that one's actions should be motivated by a desire to help and empower those around them. This principle guided my own life and work, shaping my approach to social and political activism. I believe that true service is not merely a selfless act of charity, but a conscious effort to uplift others and create positive change in society. It requires a genuine commitment to the well-being of others, a willingness to sacrifice one's own comfort and convenience for the greater good. Throughout my life, I endeavored to practice this principle in both small and large ways. Whether it was working to improve the living conditions of the poor and marginalized, or advocating for the rights of all people to live with dignity and respect, I sought to uplift others and make a meaningful impact on the world around me. I understood that service rendered to uplift others is not always easy or straightforward. It requires patience, perseverance, and a willingness to face challenges and setbacks along the way. But I also believed that the rewards of such service far outweighed the difficulties, as it allowed me to connect with others in a profound and meaningful way.- I found a sense of purpose and fulfillment that transcended my own personal ambitions and desires. I came to see that true happiness and fulfillment could only be achieved through a life of service and selflessness, and that by uplifting others, I was ultimately uplifting myself as well.
