Sayings of my father - Babuji ki suktiyan

Well as a tribute to my father, I have decided to publish a small compilation of his sayings, words and proverbs he used to say often; here is a small list of the same.

1. सबलन को नहीं दोष गुसाईं Sabalan ko nahin dosh gusain - God, looks like the powerful are not held for their mistakes.
2. प्रभु जाको पीड़ा देहीं ताकी बुद्धि पहले हर लेहीं Prabhu jako pida dehin, taki buddhi pahle her lehin - Who ever God wants to inflict pain on, He takes away the person's wisdom (judgment making ability).
3. जीवन में ऊपर चढ़ना सरल है किन्तु नीचे उतरना कठिन. Jeevan me upar chadhna saral hai, kintu neeche utarna kathin - In life it is easier to climb up, but difficult to go down.
4. If you have made real difference in few people's lives, that is more important than doing big social work which is uninspirational.
5. You can only lead people by example (doing) and no so much by words (saying) alone.
6. One could only show others paths to follow, they always find their own way.
7. हर व्यक्ति को अपना जीवन का उद्देश्य स्वयं बनाने का और उसे पूरा करने का अधिकार है. Every one has a right to make their own goals in life and pursue them.
8.
