To be successful in life
both knowledge of the self
and surroundings
are needed.
But both take time
to acquire.
A sharp intellect
and keen observation power
are needed.
Beyond these
what one needs
is understanding
and wisdom.
They come only in inheritance.
Inheritance is as much one's genes
as well as good deeds
in past lives.
So, Sir, to be successful in life,
you need God's grace,
ultimately.
