Rishi Chintan (ॠषि चिंतन)

 Not person but their character  (व्यक्ति à¤¨à¤¹à¥€à¤‚, à¤µà¥à¤¯à¤•à¥à¤¤à¤¿à¤¤à¥à¤µ)

This body is begotten and born of parents, there is really nothing different about the process of human birth, it is the same as in other animals. But on the other hand a personality and character has to be birthed with great care and resourcefulness.

Everyone, from a scientist to a philosopher has held human life in high regards; they sing praises to its greatness. The object of this praise is not a person, but a persona - the personality and character.

Yes, we do hear of someone inheriting a huge fortune, but its quite impossible to inherit - a great personality and character.

To make a personality and character is to relentlessly fight the battle of self-improvement with firm determination.

When a person becomes great, becomes extraordinary, outwardly he appears to be the same - but something does change, which makes him extraordinary from ordinary and that is - his personality and character (व्यक्तित्व).
