DIGNITY OF LABOUR

This blog is a borrowed one.Indebted to Deepika for the Picture& the matter. The matter being one relating to the Dignity of Labour regarding a person who worshipped Work he did.this made a big impact in me to observe the principle maintained by an Autoriksha Driver & the Trust he has given to the Dignity of Labour.This person stands as a symbol to proclaim to the world that The work one do to earn a living by considering it as a worship with ultimate devotion is the one quality Everyone should have.This again tells the world there is no big or small in work so long as one does it sincerely and with devotion. For this matter,the Prime Minister of a country is also a worker who should show sincerity & devotion to it. There is no meaning in considering oneself as sitting on a Golden Throne so long as the position he achieved does not fall under the category of one which earned with Hard work & devotion. Mr.Samson Velayudhan is an Autoriksha driver in the city of Kochi since last 20 years.He got elected as a Gramapanchayath member also. Since then he is living in this dual capacity.He is of the firm belief that Work is Workship& also believes in wearing his traditional Khaki dress unlike other Pachayat members who wear pure white ironed Dress. White is indeed a symbol of Purity.But this does not mean that by wearing white dress makes a person pure in his heart. Samson believes in righteousness in heart which is an indication of a Noble mind & reflects the true Character Of a person.Wearing a white ironed Shirt does not make a person pure in Heart irrespective of whether he is a panchayat member,MLA,Minister or even Prime minister of a Nation. In the defense Forcelevel& Police Force Level most of the personnel respect the Uniform& Cap they wear. Samson Velayudhan also says Wearing Khaki dress does not prevent him from discharging his duel function Of Panchayat Member& serving the Public by transporting them.He also says being the owner of an Autoriksha enables him to reach places to carry out his duties entrusted by the Panchayath& he is proud of being an Autoriksha driver.Even if becomes a MLA ,he would continue to wear the Khaki dress & has no intention to leave his work which he considers as a worship. Samson Velayudhan is very keen to serve the public by taking them to Hospital,their place of work,their home and so on.He derives immense pleasure in helping needy people. Samson's words are so vital & noble and points out to the Dignity of Labour in which he firmly believes. Sreedharan Mundanat 3rd May2014, 09-10Hrs(IST)
