Thoughts which surprised me!!

Sometimes i really feel i miss the company of great men (at least to me) like Gandhi, C.Rajagopalachari, Einstein.........etc. But what i failed to realise was that those individuals became extraordinary only because of their thoughts and actions. Had they been having thoughts common to me and public (excluding these great ones) i think even they would have been like me, totally insignificant in this World. They differentiated themselves only by their beliefs and principles. They really convinced themselves of their beliefs and principles only after a thorough introspection and investigation. They were guys who really made up their mind for what they wanted to be in life. These people have gone nowhere, they still live in each one of us in the form of beliefs which are yet to be discovered in us and in the form of principles which are yet to be practiced by me and a big section of the public. Its only a matter of discovery and practice of their beliefs and principles which will bring them back to life in our body. This shows that all personalities high and low reside in us and it is all a matter of realising them in us. We are what our mind is. We can always communicate with these greatest humans by communicating within ourselves and also question them for answers. And their thoughts and beliefs can be discovered from only their writings and may be through a mental simulation of their character in our mind through facts provided by history. Another thing which made me wonder was their ability to strictly live by their faith in spite of human disabilities which seem to stop millions of fellow humans from becoming Mahatma. The first reason could be lack of effort from individuals, next being inability to be unique by one's beliefs in a society smitten by non-conformity to such an individual's belief and the last being the fear of erring in spite of following those beliefs and its accompanying embarrassment in society. But to the question of how Mahatmas were born in spite of these disabilities, the only answer is this, they were people who realised all these disabilities and overcame them indicating to insignificant humanity that they too can do it like them.
My satisfaction and surprise is in the fact that these great souls live in me like in every other human and that seems to act as motivation for me to be on this Earth. All of us on this Earth are exactly alike but we are desperate to find reasons to differentiate ourselves and this leads to a state of hatred and war (probably this equality also means equality in the way we differentiate ourselves :)).
