he ignored the riches that England had in store for him and
decided to spend his entire life in the service of his countrymen.
This concern for the society over himself was his madness, which

nation and work for its welfare. By not utilizing this ability to
its fullest extent, a huge injustice has been done to these great
men as well as society at large. Today, when the truth has
emerged, we only have ourselves to blame.

have to be a feeling of belonging. The same God that resides in
you also resides in me. You are me and I am you. It is time to go
