For us [Hindus], engagement in the social realm, community regeneration and healing are not acts of social reform, but acts of showing gratefulness to the Supreme Being. We call it bhakti, or devotion to God. We call it a social force because it allows the individual to transcend pettiness, anger and greed. It is this transformation of man that helps him to turn everyday pursuits into forces of liberation from bondages of all kinds, and to overcome stresses, complexes, and sense of isolation, insecurity and worthlessness. It allows us to move from mere ensuring of human rights to a higher level of ensuring human dignity and human duty.
