Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served. But all other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of joy in delivering service. It suggests that rendering service without joy is not beneficial for either the person providing the service or the person receiving it. True fulfillment lies in approaching service with a spirit of joy, as all other pleasures and possessions are insignificant compared to the satisfaction gained from joyfully serving others. By embracing joy in service, both the servant and the served can experience a deeper sense of fulfillment and purpose.
