Question 13 Marks
प्रकृतिसिद्धमिदं हि महात्मनाम् I
Answer
Some persons try to establish themselves as saints. For that some people take a recourse to dress, some to knowledge, while some to their art of speech and some to hypocracy/deceitful behaviour, but one must remember that the man whose personality is like that can never be a great man/a saint. If you want to test a great person, a saint, you study his behaviour in the situations / during the period of his progress rise and fall/misery. If he remains patient in the time of his misery and practises forgivesness during his progress/ rise you take him to be real saint/great man. In the same way, if he is present in a meeting and take the side of truth quite strongly by his skill of speech and shows courage in the situation of conflict, he is the saint/a great man. And lastly, if be yearns/desire to be famous and loves to listen (to gentlemen, scholars) he is a saint/a greatman.
Some big souls come to this world (are born) with those qualities. But those who are not born with these qualities but yearns to acquire all those qualities must make attempts for that.
