Joining Hands

The spirit of the word society (samaj) signifies a group of people who move. All are not of equal strength or intellect. Hence another must compensate for the shortcomings in one. Different people have varying abilities: some have physical strength but no brains; others have the brains but not the strength to work; and others have neither the strength not the brains, but work well and with a peaceful mind under the guidance of their supervisors. We can always see around us people of differing types and qualities. Judged by the crude codes of this world, no one is totally independent. Everyone relies on someone else in some way or other. Everyone makes up for their deficiencies by taking help from others. Whenever a large group of people strives to make up for their relative differences on terms of mutual understanding, we call it a society or samaj.
