A message for the readers

“ उद्यमेन हि सिध्यन्ति कार्याणि न मनोरथैः ।

न हि सुप्तस्य सिंहस्य प्रविशन्ति मुखे मृगाः ॥

We can accomplish various tasks only by making continuous and strenuous efforts and not by merely wishing to do so. By no means antelopes themselves enter into the mouth of a sleeping Lion. A lion has to hunt and kill animals in a forest to sustain himself. Simply sleeping on it can not help him to do so,” said Amit.
