________________
of the world's greatest man have been born in poverty and in adverse circumstances. Many who have been born in slums and filthy surroundings have risen to the highest status in the world. Any one who do right exertion rise to the positon of highest level.
Every man is born with his Sankaras. The mind is not a blank sheet of paper. It contains the impressions of thoughts of actions of the previous births.
Sanskaras are the latent potentialities. These good Sanskaras are valuable assets for man. Even though he is placed in unfavourable environments, these Sanskaras give him protection against extraneous, undesirable, hostile influences. They help his growth and evolution.
Every opportunity, you get, is meant for your uplift & development. Help the needy people by way of giving your services to make him right. That man who tries to evolve or grow in adverse environments will be a very strong man indeed.
Man is certainly not a creature of environments or circumstances. He can control and modify them by his thoughts and exertion. Intense exertion (Tivra Purashrtha) can change the destiny. Therefore exert and conquer nature and rejoice in the eternal sat-chidanand Atman.
