Passage 4

In English

Body Is Meant to Serve Others

In this vast world, all trees bear fruits. Do they do so for their own sake? If you enquire, you will know that they bear fruits for the benefit of others. They do not eat their own fruits, however tasty they may be. Likewise, rivers do not drink their own water and cows do not drink their milk. Cows give milk for the sustenance of others. We must realise as to why we have been endowed with this human body. Just as trees, rivers and cows do not consume what they yield, the human body has been gifted to man not merely for his own pleasure but for engaging it in the service of others.
