Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat emphasised the importance of humility and selflessness in one’s actions, warning that unchecked ego can lead a person into a metaphorical hole. Speaking at the silver jubilee celebration of Bharat Vikas Parishad's Viklang Kendra in Pune on Monday, Bhagwat urged the audience to keep ego in check in order to live a life of meaningful service to society.

According to Bhagwat, true selfless service is rooted in identifying enduring happiness and satisfaction, which in turn nurtures the willingness to help others. He pointed out that while there is a growing perception of negativity in society, there are, in fact, far more positive and noble activities taking place, often overlooked. "For every negative aspect, there are 40 times more good and noble services happening in the community," he said. He called for a collective effort to highlight these positive contributions, stressing that service is essential for fostering trust in society.
