Think Big Poem by Aniruddha Pathak
Think Big
Two drops of rain once fell—
To be one with the sea,
One said: mere drop I be,
The ‘ther said with a roar:
Sea am I, drop no more.
Two drops two mindsets spell.

The soul of a man, a spark from the same Supreme Being, has immense potentiality. The four Vedas reiterate this truth in four fundamental thoughts called mahāvākya:
. prajnānam brahma | says Rig Veda.
. aham brahmā asmi | says Yajur Veda.
. tat tvam asi | says Saama Veda.
. ayam ātmā brahma | says Atharva Veda.
The Vedas say that if the soul must evolve and reach the supreme crest, it must aim high. Words may be different, but all the four say the same thing.

Thank you Dr Swain. Man is born with immense potentiality. It is the thinking that limits it.
aniruddha, this reminds me of an expression here in america, " attitude is everything." i think i saw it most recently in a classroom. a biblical proverb says, above all things, guard your heart—for that's where life starts. we certainly have to be vigilant of our self-talk. -glen
So well said, Glen, it is the attitude. Man limits his own potentiality. He is the product of his thinking. Thanks indeed.
Sea am I, drop no more.....the essence of this insightful piece of work lies here! An excellent work sir....10
Yes you are right. Everyone has has immense potentiality. It is the thinking that limits it. Thank you Dr Swain.

Only one who thinks great of himself can reach greatness! One who has negative thoughts will not be able to rise high. Only a person of self respect will be able to command respect from others! No one is insignificant as there is a god particle in each one of us. But being proud is different! Well said!
Not with thoughts of poverty and helplessness do thou hope to live hundred years, says our ancient thinking. I agree with you., and thanks for the feedback.
