Worth and worthiness.

To say if anything is worth doing,it is worth doing well is true and praiseworthy.But it is equally important to remember that one must make every thing worth doing. No task, however big or small is not worthy enough to be done.This is aptly illustrated by an anecdote which i had read in my childhood and has remained in my mind eversince.
Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, the great educationist was once invited as a guest of honour to a public gathering.He accepted the invite and reached the venue punctually,However, while all the invitees, participants and spectators had arrived,the programme did not start on time. He questioned one of the organisers the reason for the delay. The organiser replied that they were waiting for the sweeper to come. Seeing Ishwarji's look of surprise, the organiser further elaborated.." Sir, the stage is very diry.We are waiting for the sweeper to come and clean it for you.How can we expect a man as great as you sit on such a dirty stage?".
On hearing this, Ishwarji immediately lifted up the broom and started cleaning the stage himself. As the organiser began protesting, he explained that no job is dirty or menial. One should never think that a task is not worth doing. Instead one should wonder whether the task,however big or small it may be, is worthy of being done by us because ultimately all of us are just mere servants of the worthiest taskmaster..the GOD.
