Self respect and Selfishness are different qualities altogether. One who respects himself only can respect others. Self respect identifies the Individual and makes him/her,free of egoistic feelings and enables the individual to see in others, the very nature of him / her, as if through a looking glass. The extrovert tendencies take shape in his/ her consitution and the vision attains a level of sublimity. This status of oneness will drain out the sense of selfishness which erodes the mind and body of any individual.
Association with men & women of righteous nature will always boost up our desire to be self controlled in thought and action and also useful to the society at large. Religious life does not mean that one will only be engaged in Spiritual activities, but he/she will apply their spiritual thoughts in practical use , relating the same with their neighbours,who need assitance in the day to day life. The attitude of the good SAMARITAN is the need of the hour. Theory and practice of religious culture should go hand in hand in our daily routine. Then only we will see a ray of hope in the common man in realising GOD's loving Kundness transmitted to them through others in the neighbourhood.
