Guest guest Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 It happened in the initial days of the Banaras Hindu University. Some students went to meet the founder vice-chancellor, Mahamana Madan Mohan Malviya. They had many complaints against some of their teachers and classmates. Malviyaji was an eminent scholar and patriot, who genuinely cared for the younger generation of the nation. He patiently listened to the complaints then replied affectionately †" “My young friends! There may be some thorns of angularities in those people, but these thorns would bother us only when we are not able to see the beauty of the flowers of their positive qualities. You should endeavor seeing the flowers of goodness indwelling their lives; then the thorns will lose their prominence and your life will also begin to get fragrant with the sweet scent of those flowersâ€.
