Make Yourself Useful to the World

In search of inner peace and happiness,

Tried all and ended up to big mess,,

A mere smile from a poor boy who ate left over ice-cream,

Volcano of emotions and tears lead to loud scream,,

Perceives pleasures lies in spreading the blossoms of laughter,

"How to make Yourself useful for the world" got the purpose of life there after,,

Mata Sita teaching to Luv Kush at Valmiki Ashram that, we have got the birth as a human to accomplish the purpose of that almighty lord and making yourselves for the service of the nature and all living beings before self. This way only enlightening of knowledge can be attained and emancipation can be attained.

Pacific actions are crucial in building the world so we should always attempt to work in the formation of deeds might not be perfect but must be laying on the path of perfection.

Life is for living indeed but it's more worthy if purpose is identified for bringing positive modification in the world.
