Patriotism has always attracted
me. Since, may be school days, or it must simply be in my blood. My grandfather
was a freedom fighter. But the meaning and significance of his struggle I can
understand now.
Now!! You must be wondering what has
suddenly happened to make me sensitive towards the nation? Nothing particular
actually. Just little awareness that has made me look beyond myself.
In today’s time, the profession defines you. And when I started looking around for selflessness
in professions, the first thing that struck me was the profession of SOLDIERS!
The selfless job of soldiers and the selflessness of their families will always
be unmatched!
The next question is, where does
this selflessness come from? Self-less attitude or not thinking much about ‘me
and mine’ is easier when you have something else. Something more important to
think about, some higher purpose to seek, something to love truly, deeply and
madly.
You imagine how deep must be a
soldier’s love for his country that he is ready to sacrifice his body also for
it. No wonder, soldiers who die on the battlefield are bid adieu with lots of
respect in India!
Let’s pledge to learn this one
thing from our soldier brothers today! Let us seek some higher purpose than simply
earning in our lives. Let us make a small difference in a small part of our
country. Let us try to be self-less and make India a nation of true karma
yogis!
