Passage 8

In English

Perform Your Duty In A Sacred Way

There is plenty of wealth in Bharat. Then why is the country poor? What is the reason behind its poverty? Once, when a great man investigated the problems of Bharat and other countries, he came to the conclusion that the main problem was that the number of people who worked was less and the number of those who spent and consumed was more. Moreover, those who are educated do not perform their duty in a sacred way; they serve their narrow and selfish interests. This is the cause of the lack of equality in society. Ideally, all should have an equal opportunity to lead a happy life in society. But this ideal is not being observed. There is nothing wrong with the economy of the country. But the wealth of the country is not being wisely used. For example, when a pit is dug at one spot, the mound of soil beside the pit becomes high. It is therefore necessary that more soil should be put in the pit so that the mound and the pit are equalized. Similarly, equality should be created in society.
