New
Delhi. RSS SahSarkaryavah Dr Krishna Gopal ji said that it is the Bhartiya philosophy
of service that makes the people of this country see God in every man, such
that social-service is neither seen as a vehicle for self-aggrandisement nor is
there any motive behind service activities. He added that any service done with
some motive or expectations ceases to be service in its spirit and becomes
sheer business. “In our Bhartiya philosophy one experiences joy in
making fellow beings happy. Offering of service makes us see God in fellow
beings.”

Dr
Krishna Gopal ji expressed these thoughts during the inaugural session of the
ongoing Rashtriya Sewa Sangam, under way at New Delhi. He added that the only motive
of our service is to ensure that no individual remains poor and inferior and
should not be in any trouble. Maa Kashchit Dukhbhagbhavet, Sarve
Bhavantu Sukhina (May all living beings be happy and healthy. May all
see only good things and may no one ever have any grief). “We chant Bharat
Mata kee Jai, but even if one individual is suffering, aggrieved, or
devoid of education then this Bharat Mata kee Jai will remain
incomplete. We should strive to end the suffering of each individual.”

Dr
Krishna Gopal ji further added that in our country there is no discrimination
in terms of religion or belief systems while offering services. “We accept and
believe that service is part of the divine work so whatever may be the ways of
worship or religious beliefs in an individual there is no distinction in the
service work. To expect anything in return for service is impure. This is the
fundamental philosophy that has been taught to us by our sages, saints, and
seers through the ages. We believe that only fortunate get the opportunity to
lend a helping hand and offer service to the needy.” He added that it is the
responsibility of all to help relatively weaker individuals of the society.

“In
the first phase, we wish to see that no one in Bharat remains poor and inferior
and in the next phase we wish to build a similar situation in the whole world.”

Remembering
an incidence during the birth centenary year of RSS-founder Dr Hedgewar in
1989, Dr Krishna Gopal ji said that the then SarSanghchalak of RSS Param Poojya
Bala Saheb Devras had proposed the thought of initiating service work for
Sangh’s Swayamsevaks. Can we begin around 5,000 Sewa works in
order to alleviate the sufferings of deprived classes?, was Bala Saheb’s
request, following which Swayamsevaks began the work in right earnest. “They
not only achieved the initial target but have surged ahead. The array of
service works that numbered around 7,000 in 1995 has touched one lakh fifty
thousand in the year 2015.”

Dr

next Rashtriya Sewa Sangam the sewa works of RSS will double
in size and numbers.

Dr.
Krishna Gopal ji also said that in order to root out accumulated problems due
to our thousand-year bondage there was a need to prepare volunteers such as
Abdul Rahim Khankhana whose mind and soul was deeply involved in Bharat’s
culture and saw God in the people of this country.

Her
Holiness Mata Amritanandamayi, during her blessings, called upon the need for
creation of a world where individuals are peaceful and content. She stressed
upon the need to spread love, compassion and selfless sense of service such
that the wide gap between the prosperous and poor is reduced. “If the gap
between privileged and deprived is not removed then no one will be spared from
violence and war.”

She
also stressed upon the need to instil Sanatan cultural values
in children and called upon retired teachers to take upon themselves to teach
spirituality and moral values for two years in villages. “To see God in a human
being and hence to serve them is a priceless opportunity that should not be
wasted.” She added that at present, service activities have been made into a
profession, which is like cancer for the society. She also unveiled Rashtriya
Sewa Bharati’s magazine Sewa Sadhana.
