Role model : Incense Stick - a way of dedicating one's life to deeds for others

An incense stick has no personal agenda.

Once it starts burning, it burns non stop.

It continues to spread fragrance. It hardly bothers where it's fragrance goes.

It hardly bothers who are beneficiaries of its fragrance.

It does not bother it even if it's fragrance does not benefit others and it simply gets lost in wind. This is not its look out.

It's work knows no interruption and no distractions.

It only knows this much.

It is an incense stick.

Someone has lighted it from top.

It's duty is its to burn non stop at slow speed till whole of it is spent and then it dies on its own.

Such is the lives of many saints too.

They spread fragrance during their life time.

But fragrance of their words continue to linger in air for many many years.
