Though

axed and maimed by man, trees selflessly serve him by providing him

fruits and shade.. Rivers carry water to quench man's thirst and to

cleanse his body. The cow also selflessly serves man by providing milk.

Man should, in the first place, realize the truth that he has been

endowed with the human body not for seeking his selfish ends but for

serving others. Since man has gained his wealth, knowledge and skills

from society, he has to discharge his debt to society by doing some

good in return. A man without this supreme virtue of gratitude is worse

than a cruel animal; his education and skills are a sheer waste. It is

indeed by serving society that these acquire splendour and

significance.
