  • "When any work is done by an enlightened  man or 

    by an un-enlightened man, there is similarity with 

    respect to the body (only) but not with respect to 

    the buddhi (reason and will)."-   - Kevvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv.....

    The ordinary citizen only OCCUPIES a chair of authority; but the enlightened citizen occupies it and ALSO ADORNS IT. Here we can see THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SMALL MEN AND BIG MEN. 

    Small men are not men doing small work, but doing ALL WORK WITH A SMALL MIND; 
    and
     big men are not men doing big work, but doing ALL WORK WITH A BIG MIND AND HEART

    There is no distinction between big and small with respect to work, according to the GITA. The distinction applies to the buddhi (बुद्धि) or reason behind the work. Some people achieve bigness only by sitting on a big chair of authority and power; some other people impart their own bigness to whatever chair they sit on.

    It is this natural bigness, the inherent greatness, with its natural dignity and self-respect and respect for others, that comes to man as enlightened citizen, compared to man as a formal citizen, as a mere job-holder or functionary.
    WHEN WE HAVE SUCH ENLIGHTENED AND ALERT CITIZENS, WE SHALL AUTOMATICALLY HAVE ALERT PARLIAMENTARIANS, AND OTHER LEGISLATORS, ALERT MINISTERS, ALERT ADMINISTRATORS, ALERT TEACHERS, AND ALERT WORKING CLASS. That alertness can come only from the enlightenment. That alertness catches the pulse of the urges and aspirations of the people in various fields of national life, and respond them readily and effectively -- be it from a primary school classroom, a university research laboratory, an industrial executive's office, or the government secretariat.
