When a person occupies an exaltedexecutive post, one should consider that he has acquired the grace of the Lord. InBhagavad-gita it is said:yad yad vibhatimat sattvarhsrimad urjitam eva vatat tad evavagaccha tvarhmama tejo 'rhsa-sambhavam"Know that all beautiful, glorious and mighty creations spring from but a spark ofMy splendor." (Bg. 10.41)Whenever we see something exalted, we must consider it part of the power ofthe Supreme Personality of Godhead. A powerful man (vibhatimat sattvam) is onewho has obtained the grace of the Lord or has derived some power from Him. InBhagavad-gita (7.1 0) Krr;.a says, tejas tejasvinam aham: "I am the power of thepowerful." The learned brahmaQa scholars showed respect to Nawab HussainShah because he represented a fraction of Krr;.a's power.TEXT 20 ,- "lte 'w t( 1- t,-:rt t, · ' Off ll 0 ll
