In servitude lies the leadership

One must always be men of service. Leadership lies in the spirit of service. Leaders today have never served before. They aspire to be the leaders without serving anyone hence, the present plight of the world. In fact there is a lot of respect in service to others. What are the traits of Hanuman? “Hanuman is one of peace He is one of character! He is one of physical strength!” He is very strong. He went to the Ashoka garden while searching for Sita, but the demons in the kingdom of Ravana had never before seen a monkey. All the demons gathered to see the funny looking creature. Indrajith, son of Ravana, asked Hanuman, “Who are you?” None knew the capacity of Hanuman, yet he replied, “Sir! I am the servant of SriRamachandra!” Such respect he had in being the servant of Rama! Regard for one increases when one says one is the servant of Ramachandra. One may be servant of bad thoughts and deeds, of sensual and worldly pleasures, but what is low about being a servant to the Lord? One must introspect, “What mistakes am I committing? Why should I fear? What is wrong in doing service to the society?” and exercise this kind of discrimination to develop courage in oneself. It is this courage that is most important. When once one serves the community with full faith and courage, one finds the God by his side.
