Torch Bearer Quotes

“You can lead and motivate people without a certificate or title, what you need to do is to tell people a compelling secret that was only known to you.”
― Michael Bassey Johnson

“You know what I am - I am the same thing that you are. I am the torch, as well as the torch-bearer - I am harmony, as well as the advocate of harmony - I am progress, as well as the driver of progress - I am humanity's beacon of oneness - I am humanity's struggle for equality - I am humanity's fight for justice - and this is not I speaking to you, this is you speaking to yourself - for you and I are not separate, but one eternal all-encompassing reflection that has the potential to resonate through the chambers of time, once it recognizes, realizes and utilizes its reverberating responsibilities towards the world it's born in.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Monk Meets World

“Do something so grand with your life that you can speak out loud to the naysayers, not with arrogance, but with self-respect - "if you die, you'll be forgotten in a week, like any other animal on earth, but when I die, my name will be an inspiration to thousands of generations to come.”

“I am like the Vatican or Mecca, people love visiting there once in a while to find solution to their problems and confusions, but no one likes living there. Such is and will always be the predicament of the path of servitude and sacrifice. Knowing this, if you still can’t hold yourself from running to the aid of the helpless and downtrodden, then my friend, there is no power in any obscurity to keep you from uplifting the society.”
