When you are cooking three cups of rice, do you add three cups of salt with it? No.

We add only a small


pinch of salt. If there is a room which needs to be lighted up. The room may be thousand square feet but
we do not add thousand light bulbs to light it. One light bulb is sufficient. Many times we think we are
little and being little is it possible for us to have impact? Just imagine compared to the size of the room,
the light bulb is very very small, but although it is little, it is not insignificant, it is impactful. Therefore we
should always realize that however little we may be but it is possible for us to become the salt in this
world an the light bulb in this world. The light bulb and the salt may be little but they are impactful.
Therefore we should always try to create impact. We do not want to be in that majority thinking that
unless we are intact majority nothing will happen. When you are following the principles of religion,
when you are following the principles of truthfulness, when you are following the principles of positivity,
you may be in minority, but we would rather be part of an impactful minority than a wasted majority.
And therefore let us try to be salt in this world, let us try to be light bulb in this world yad yad
vibhutimat sattvam Whatever we see in this world is nothing but energy of the supreme lord, and so
when we are following the principles, when we are truthful, when we are not corrupt and when we see
we are in minority, world around is filled with sin, filled with negativity and we may be think what is the
point? Can we ever win the battle? Yes. The small light bulb although one by five thousandth size of the
room, wins the battle of darkness, although the salt only a pinch wins the battle of taste when it comes
to food. Therefore the battlefield of kurukshetra the kauravas although sinful had 11 aksahuni divisions,
pandavas vet pious had only 7 aksahuni divisions but when Pandavas and Kauravas were standing
arrayed in front of each other, the sound of the conchshells shattered the hearts of the Kauravsas tasya
sanjayan harsam kuru vrddhah pitahmaha simha nadam vinadyoccaih sankham dadhmau pratapavan.
When the conch shells blew, the sound of the conch shells shattered the hearts of the Kauravsas.
Therefore numbers, size and scale doesn't matter. Impact is dependent on purity and intensity. Let us
work on purity and intensity in our lives and create impact.
