"There were pious people who came before us and have passed away, and there are pious people who exist today.� At the time of birth, we and they were granted the same abilities.

However, they utilised their capabilities in the right manner and achieved many great things.

We on the contrary are wasting these potentials.� If we were to put them to use by exerting a little effort, we will also experience many achievements in our lives."
