This Body Exists for Others

परोपकाराय फलन्ति वृक्षाः परोपकाराय वहन्ति नद्यः । परोपकाराय दुहन्ति गावः परोपकारार्थमिदं शरीरम् ॥

paropakārāya phalanti vṛikṣhāḥ paropakārāya vahanti nadyaḥ, paropakārāya duhanti gāvaḥ paropakārārtham idaṁ śharīram

Meaning

Trees bear fruit for the sake of others, rivers flow for the sake of others, cows give milk for the sake of others — this body, too, exists for the sake of others.
