All of us are members of human society. We depend on others for our existence. This dependence on others is felt at every hour of our life. Every one of us, therefore, has to give something in return for want others give us. This means that every one of us has to serve other members of society.
Society is too much large for a single man to serve at a time adequately. The task is beyond his capacity. As how every one finds division of labour in nature, in the same way there can be division of labour in society. A man can serve his society in the direction in which his inclinations lie. After all, social service is largely dictated by one's interest. One's service to society would be sincere to the extent he is interested in the work taken in hand.
Men do not agree in their capacities and temperaments. To do the work that suits one's temperament is the best way of giving full pay to one's aptitudes. And this is not possible, unless one serves one's society in some form or the other.
Most of us have to do very humble work in life. Some of us may be teachers. A teacher is often regarded as a negligible person: but the work he does, affects society as a whole more than any other man's work in other fields of life. He is responsible for moulding the character of a large number of future men and women.
Men of parts may turn out writers and influence society through their writings. Professors, lecturers and preachers do the same kind of work in different ways. They serve society in their on way.
Even the humblest scavenger is rendering service to society. Just imagine what would happen to all of us, if scavengers struck. All of us, would suffer in health if he failed to do his work from day to-day. This shows that a scavenger is serving the human society in his own way. However humble his rule may' be, his services are not contemptible.
