Duty, Not Rights

Today, we hear around us
The commotion for rights.
Our government too talks
of equal rights
And cultivates ego in people.
There is no stress
Anywhere
For duty and selfless service.
The soul of the society
Is the spirit of cooperation,
Yet it can live no more
In the atmosphere of self-centred rights.
So, we see different types of struggles
In different fields
of our national life –
Be he teacher or student
Be he worker or industrialist.
By assimilating our cultural view alone
Can revive in our national life
The true spirit of cooperation
And spirit of duty.

—Param Pujya Guruji
