“Greatness doesn't always wear medals or stand on a stage.
Sometimes it walks quietly beside us, helping others without seeking attention”.
It is a privilege to throw light on a value that is simple in
words, but divine in meaning -Selfless Action, meaning - doing
your duty without expecting anything in return.
Let us explore this through three lenses - Lord Krishna's
life, heroes of our country and journey as a student.
Let us begin with the greatest teacher of selfless action - Lord Krishna.
In the Bhagavad Gita, standing in the middle of the
battlefield, Krishna didn't fight for himself. Instead, he guided Arjuna - not
for fame, not for reward - but for Dharma, the higher purpose.
Krishna's own life was an example of this.
He stood by truth, protected others, and gave wisdom - without
expecting applause.
His greatness came not from what he received, but from what he
gave.
India's freedom is the result of countless selfless
heroes who sacrificed everything for us.
- Mahatma
Gandhi walked barefoot with truth in his heart - not for power, but for
peace.
- Bhagat Singh chose the gallows at just 23 -not
for fame, but for justice.
And this is not the end, there are many more….
These heroes never asked, "What will I get?"
Instead, they asked “What can I give?”
Now, let's bring this to our own lives as students-
You don't need a battlefield or a freedom struggle to practice
selflessness.
You can do it every single day:
- help
a classmate without expecting praise.
- work
hard, not for medals, but to learn and grow.
- Follow discipline and take responsibility,
develop the habits that every citizen needs habits that build a strong and
ethical society.
- Use your talent for the nation- whether you
write, sing, paint or design, use your gift not just to compete but to
contribute.
- Be future ready but rooted - learn global skills
but do not forget Indian values.
- Respect all religion and culture, promote
harmony.
- Serve in community project- volunteer in tree
planting drives, blood donation camps, awareness rallies etc
These are not small acts. They are the seeds of
greatness.
In the world of competition, let us not forget
compassion.
In the race for marks, let us not forget morals. And in
the journey of success, let us not forget to serve others.
Let us perform every task – whether big or small - with
devotion, honesty, and no expectation.
Because in the end, it is not the reward that makes us great,
but the heart with which we act.
