"Aspire to become good, not great. Ravana was great, while Rama was good. Why? Rama put into practice His innate noble qualities. Ravana also had noble qualities in him but he did not make use of them. Greatness is like a passing cloud. You occupy an exalted position, you earn a lot of money but nothing remains with you. Earn a good name for yourself. People should respect you because of your goodness. Only goodness gives true happiness."
