164. P.P.Doctorjee’s Immense humility and self-confidence:


In a Sangha Baithak for elderly people, some leading thinkers came forward and said to P.P.Doctorjee: “Doctor Saheb, today, the immensely needed Sangha work is flourishing, because of the virtue of your personal merit, self-sacrifice and hard work. However, what will happen in the future, after you have passed away? Society’s need for Sangha work and the nourishment it provides will continue unabated. Therefore, today, while you are still alive and well enough to guide us, we strongly suggest that Sangha should form a Central Governing Committee, which can continue the work in the event of your disability or death.”

P.P.Doctorjee calmly replied: “Please do not think that Sangha work is flourishing today only due to my virtuousness (“Punya”) or contribution alone. I certainly do not think so. I am but a very ordinary man. I do not have any special qualities. However, if we imagine for a moment that you are right, and Sangha work depends solely on my virtue to flourish and for its continued growth, it will require other equally virtuous people. It would inevitably perish, if such people were to be unavailable. Sangha work today flourishes without any such “Central Governing Committee.”

Sangha work is, verily the creation of swayamsevaks, patriotic citizens with great integrity, unity and self-discipline. P.P.Doctorjee was so confident of the swayamsevaks that he was able to assert their future success, even after his own death.
