There is an art of living as well as an art of dying. To die on one’s bed, under one’s roof is the easiest inglorious, uneventful end of life. But those who die for a great cause such as the freedom of a nation or the world work for the oppressed and downtrodden people die a noble and glorious death. They never die who die in a noble cause because they become immortal of name and fame. Physical death does not end their life.; They live in the memory and hearts as the people. They alone are successful in life. Other who eat, drink, make merry have not succeeded in life. They have failed. But they never fail whọ die in a great cause. A man dedicates his life to social or political or religious reforms.

The only man who really die is the man who works only for himself and his belly.
