Description
Altruism is the principle and practice of concern for the well-being and/or happiness of other humans or animals above oneself. While objects of altruistic concern vary, it is an important moral value in many cultures and religions. It may be considered a synonym of selflessness, the opposite of selfishness.
परस्य हितसाधनं सज्जनाः कर्तव्यम् इति भावयन्ति । यत् कर्म मनुष्याणां हिताय कल्पते, तादृशं मानवोचितं कर्म यदि वयम् आचरेम तर्हि इतरे जनाः तदुपकारं लब्ध्वा प्रीताः सन्तः सुखेन जीवन्ति । तेन च अस्माकं मनसि सन्तोषः जायते । एतेन एव समाजस्य प्रभूतः उपकारः संसाधितः भविष्यति । समाजस्य उपकारेण एव राष्ट्रस्य समृद्धिः भवति । अतः व्यासमुनेः वचनमिदं सर्वदा स्मरणीयं स्यात् - 'परोपकारः पुण्याय पापाय परपीडनम्' इति । एतस्मिन् प्रसङ्गे सर्वदा प्रकृतिः एव अस्माकं दृष्टान्तस्वरूपा भवति । सूर्यः लोकस्य उपकाराय आलोकं(प्रकाशं) ददाति । चन्द्रानिलनलाः परोपकाराय एव सन्ति । पञ्चमहाभूतानां सृष्टिः विश्वस्य हितसाधनाय एव जाता ।
