"J'ai dormi et rêvé que la vie était joie. Je me suis réveillé et j'ai vu que la vie était service. J'ai agi et voici que le service était joie."
— Rabindranath Tagore

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes we think happiness is just about enjoying ourselves. But when we wake up to reality, we see that helping others is what life is about. When we start helping people, we realize this brings true happiness. For example, imagine you dream of having a lot of money and free time, thinking that would make you happy. When you wake up, you see people around you needing help. You decide to volunteer at a food bank or tutor kids, and you start to feel really happy and fulfilled. By giving your time and effort to others, you find a deeper joy than you ever expected. This shows that serving others can bring the most meaningful happiness.
