Follow or Lead
You should either follow others, or make them follow you. You have to choose one of these two courses. If you do not like to follow others, and you do not have the capability of making others follow you, you are abnormal. Then think about this situation carefully and judge yourself correctly.
AMAR VANI
The Source of Greatness
Great men cannot be taught or tutored by external agencies. The source of greatness lies hidden within their own self, which in course of time sprouts forth of itself. Who teaches the rose to blossom forth? Who teaches the nightingale to sing so sweet? None, they are self-taught.
Largeness of Heart
The greatness of man depends not on his being rich but on his being large-hearted. Therefore Indian philosophy and culture exhort every man to be large-hearted.
Great Men and Opportunity
Common men are always looking for some great favourable opportunity to show off their greatness. In this expectation they spend their whole life but such a great opportunity never comes in their life when they could do some thing great.
But opportunities come unsought for to the great men. Not that great opportunties really come to them, but that they make small opportunities great. Every moment of life is important provided we can utilize it properly.
