Serving as a soldier

Last week I travelled from Madurai to Chennai by train.In the compartment there were four men from different southern districts of Tamilnadu.They were going back to their respective units of the army. They were happy to be together during the two days journey .They shared their experiences .They talked about their higher officials.They expressed their wishes and ambitions. But they had only one goal .They serve the nation and are responsible for the safety of the people in their motherland.We live in this world with many people.Our aim should be to live an eternal life with God after our death.We have to lead others also to this eternity.Otherwise we fail in our duty.
