Inspiration for virtue

There was once a highly successful and famous personality, always engaged in doing good to others. He was not good-looking. He had the habit of keeping a mirror with himself and several times in a day he used to himself the mirror. People wondered this strange habit of and were curious to know the reason behind this behavior

One of his close friends could not hold this curiosity and asked him as to why he looked into mirror so often. He replied in all humility, ‘Looking into the mirror inspires me to think that since God has given me an unsightly body, I should do good deeds with so much earnestness that it becomes an ideal or model for world. Those endowed with good looks should also see their faces in the mirror and think that they should not do anything that would disgrace such a wonderful gift of nature.’ This self-reflection by this pious personality inspires us to always pursue virtue. All of you are either handsome or not so handsome. Those who are handsome should be careful lest they should disgrace their handsomeness by an unwholesome act. Those who do not have good looks should think of making up the lack of good should think of making up the lack of good looks by good deeds. Work as an instrument of the Lord for the sake of the Lord. Work for the good of others.
