Service should not be done for profit or reward, says Mohan Bhagwat

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Friday said “seva” or service instils belongingness among people and should be done without yearning for any profit or reward in return.

He said compassion is love without any motive for profit. It is not that compassion is missing among animals, but the scope of compassion is all-pervasive in humans.

The RSS leader was speaking at a gathering of veterinary doctors here. One should not do “seva” to show off or for reward, it should be done selflessly from the heart, he said.

If a person is sad then “seva” should be extended to him, Bhagwat said, appreciating the work of noted social worker Dr Vikas Amte, who has dedicated his life to caring for leprosy patients.

A common thread binds all humans and they do not discriminate against those whom they consider their own. This trait is called humanity, maintained  Bhagwat.
