Reduce your Needs. Increase your Responsibilities

Reduce your Needs. Increase your Responsibilities

The title above was one of  the messages shared by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji during the Yagnya @ Chennai recently. My mom & me watched the yagna Live from home in sankara TV last sunday evening. The event was wonderful with the singing of about 5700 artists with their accompanyments. All the artists were honoured. I was delighted to see the awards given to people performing social service & good to the humanity.

Ji's message was so clear. He spoke with so much of love & down to earth nature. He asked every one to do social service. He emphasised the importance of Yoga & medidtaion, He also wanted to see India as Corruption free nation. Many peopel from politics also made their presence. The Bhajan song from the golden voice of Chitra ji kept ringing in my heart all through the night. The most important point he mentioned really made me think.
" Reduce your needs. Increase your responsisbilities". A food for thought!
We generally do the vice versa. Reducing the needs will make us lead a simple life. Increased responsibility will make us work hard and bring success to us. If everyone feels responsible for all our activities, how can corruption weed grow amongst us...??
