A Man is Great Because he finds a way to save society in its hours of crisis. But what can help him to find a way ? He can do so only with the help of intellect. Intellect is the light. Nothing else can be of any avail. It is quite obvious that without the combination of sincerity and intellect no man can be great. Is this enough to constitute a great man ? At this state, I must, I think make a distinction between an eminent individual and a great man. For I am certain that a great man is something very different from an eminent individual. Sincerity and intellect are enough to mark out an individual or being eminent as compared to his fellows. But they are not enough to raise him to the dignity of a great man. A great man must have something more than what merely an eminent individual has. What must be something ? Here comes the importance of the philosopher's definition of a great man. A great man must be motivated by the dynamics of a social purpose and must act as the scourge and the scavenger of the society. These are the elements which distinguish an eminent individual from a great man and constitute his title deeds to respect and reverence.----
