Seva Paramodharma: There is nothing like the joy of giving something to another

- There is nothing like the joy of serving another, sacrificing for another and giving something to another

- Seeing these children working, other children also got guidance. All began to help each other

As the exams approached, the students started preparing for the exams. Today all were to gather to study at Alpesh's house. Dewang, Rakesh, Kumar, Nilay and other classmates also came at the appointed time. All went to study and even helped a weak friend to study. All were working hard, all had to pass and get into the next class. After a while Nainesh and Dharmesh also came there. Both were staring blankly. 'Why are you both so late? Worried about the exam or not? ' Alpesh knocked them both out.

"Hey, put these books in the closet now," said Dharmesh. 'In the closet?! .. Why?' Dewang spoke.

'Before TV. Turn on .. soon .. soon 'Nainesh said.

Alpesh TV Turned on and put Gujarati news. The news started after two or three announcements.

'Today's headlines are as follows. The Education Minister has said that the standard 12 examination is canceled keeping in view the life and health of the students. Further details will be revealed after deliberations.

'Hush .. released ...' Rakesh and Kumar spoke.

'Hey, what about all the preparations? And how do we get results? - I don't understand .. 'Nilay said.

'Look friends, the decision taken by the government must have been taken with due understanding. Our education will not be wasted anywhere. Everything has to come to work, 'said Dharmesh.

After a bit of a horizontal discussion, everyone started packing their books. After wrapping the books, Rakesh said, "To celebrate or not to celebrate the cancellation of the exam?! ... I don't understand anything."

'That's right. We are not going anywhere because of the epidemic. Hotels, restaurants, gardens, swimming pools, malls all closed ... closed .. what to do now? All day long, Dad and Mom have been telling me not to go here ... not to go there ... how boring ... what to do? ' Tejas and Animesh spoke.

Pravindada was reading the newspaper in the room next to the study room. The words of the children's discussion fell on Dada's ears, so Pravin Dada came out of the room. Everyone greeted him with both hands. After sitting all the children with him, Dada said, 'Children, our country is going through a lot of trouble right now. Every citizen of the country has become a victim of a difficult situation. Some have lost loved ones, some have lost their jobs, and some have lost everything. In such a difficult time we do not have to think of our happiness. Every year on vacation, people would go out of town. Some Mosal and some of their loved ones used to go there and enjoy the holiday. You've had fun every vacation so far. Maybe not all of you can have such fun this vacation but if you ... '

All the children wondered what Grandpa would say next.

'But if you all take advantage of this holiday ... be someone's helper. Finish someone's stalled work, hey ... there are so many ways for those who want to serve ... how many organizations, saints, service-minded people are coming forward to help everyone in such a difficult time ... you are all young, you Let everyone do something like this ... '

'Grandpa, you are right. We will definitely make good use of this holiday, 'said all the friends. All the friends often meet and discuss how to move forward? Girishbhai Sir and Jayendrabhai Sir helped the children to move forward. He gave the children accurate guidance and guidance on the task at hand.

The children went to work the next day. Chhotalal had a grocery shop at the Society's nose. His shop was also open during lockdown. Chhotalal's shop, known for its ethics, was always a good home. The two men in the shop did not come because of the epidemic, so they had trouble with one hand alone. Tejas, Dewang and Nikunj attended in turn and started helping in their work.

The children studied online all year round. Many children did not enjoy online education. Nainesh began re-explaining his course to such students in the neighborhood. Began to remove all their confusion about the study.

Janakkaka was running Amul Parlor. Two of his workers were moving to the village for fear of an epidemic. Rakesh, Animesh and Kumar always brought milk, cheese, cheese and ice cream from their shop. The trio of these three friends decided to go and help Janakkaka in turn. So that the workload of Janakkaka is reduced. Shivam and Anshu took up the task of bringing the old couple living in the society from outside. Anand always brought medicine and vegetables to Shardaba from outside. And Akash accepted the responsibility of bringing snacks, milk and medicine for Manjulaba from outside. Seeing these children working, other children also got guidance. All began to help each other. Their parents were happy to see that all the children were fulfilling their responsibilities.

The children made good use of the holiday. Became more aware of responsibility than the work of others. It is rightly said in theology that there is no joy in serving another, in giving up for another, and in giving something to another.

Children, you can also accumulate capital by doing such service during the holidays. The joy that comes from being altruistic and helping others is truly amazing.
