Trees give shade for the benefit of others, while they themselves stand in the sun and endure the scorching heat, they produce the fruit by which others profit. The character of good man is like that of trees. What is the use of this perishable body if it is not used for the benefit of mankind? Sandalwood - the more it is rubbed, the more scent does it yield. Sugarcane - the more it is peeled and cut into pieces, the more juice does it produce. Gold - the more it is burnt, the more brightly does it shine. The men who are noble at heart do not lose their qualities even by losing their lives. What matters whether men praise them or not? What does it signify whether they die at this moment or whether their lives are prolonged? Happen what many, those who tread in the right path will not set foot in any other. Life itself is unprofitable to a man who does not live for others. To live for the mere sake of living one's life is to live life of dogs or crows. Those who lay down their lives for the sake of humanity will assuredly live for ever in the world of bliss.
