A swayamsevak is a person who has to do seva and do seva to the person who does seva also. Society is God. Many rise to occasion and there was a stimulus that kept active. But we swayamsevak need to be more active now as rehabilitation is there. We have to think on the need; serve the society continuously till it reaches the ‘last man in the last row’. Being Sarsanghachalak the best suitable word to pat you is ‘Sabaash’, said Shri Mohan Bhagwat.
