"There is No Need for Anyone to Start Reforming the Country or the Nation before Reforming Himself." Ramani Maharshi

"There is no need for anyone to start reforming the country or the nation before reforming himself. Each man’s first duty is to realize his true nature. If after doing it, he feels like reforming the country or nation, by all means let him take up such reform. Ram Tirtha advertised, ‘Wanted reformers — but reformers who will reform themselves first.’"

(Hindu Sage Ramani Maharshi, Bhagavan in 'Day by Day with Bhagavan' 2-1-46 Afternoon)
