00:00I said, the people whom I thought were big from a distance,

00:04after getting closer to them, I realized that they are not as big as I thought they were.

00:10They are very small.

00:12And the people whom I thought were very small,

00:16exactly the same,

00:18after getting closer to them, I realized that they are not very small.

00:21They are very big.

00:27And let me tell you a good thing.

00:30I have a very good relationship with Bill Gates, Avitabh Bachchan,

00:33and many other people, including Lata Mangeshkar.

00:38I told my wife,

00:42this is a very personal story,

00:43I don't want to insult anyone.

00:46I said, the people whom I thought were big from a distance,

00:50after getting closer to them, I realized that they are not as big as I thought they were.

00:55They are very small.

00:56And the people whom I thought were very small,

01:01exactly the same,

01:03after getting closer to them, I realized that they are not very small.

01:06They are very big.

01:09During the election,

01:11I gave a ticket to a woman from a Parthian community in Hingna, Taluka.

01:16My request was to give her a ticket.

01:18All the people from the Parthian community came to me and said,

01:20since you have given the ticket, we don't want to say anything.

01:23But this is a tribal community,

01:25the community is very small,

01:26this election will not be won.

01:29Everyone was against my opinion,

01:31and I wanted to give the ticket to that woman,

01:33so I made a small mistake.

01:36I gave her 10,000 rupees and told her to start working.

01:40I gave her the insurance.

01:42And later, when all these people were against me,

01:44which I did not expect,

01:46so it was my nature that when the Pancho was doing,

01:49now all the people are against me,

01:50so I decided to change the ticket.

01:52I came to Dharmasankat.

01:54And I called her home.

01:57And I literally told the woman,

01:59who was driving the cart,

02:02that I made a mistake.

02:05I told you that the ticket is fixed,

02:07you take 10,000 rupees,

02:09start working,

02:11but in this situation,

02:12you have to change the ticket.

02:14You will not be able to fill the form.

02:16I am very sorry, I apologize.

02:18I said, why are you apologizing?

02:20She immediately took out her purse,

02:23and gave me 6,850 rupees.

02:28And said, I had spent so much money,

02:31but you did not give me the ticket,

02:33so don't worry,

02:34but I will work for the candidate of my party.

02:38And I returned the money,

02:39and I had tears in my eyes,

02:40and she left.

02:42But the great scholars,

02:45scholars of higher education,

02:46doctors, professors,

02:47there are great people,

02:48after paying the ticket,

02:50if you go to their house to explain,

02:52how much abuse,

02:53and how much curse,

02:55and you have to sit quietly and listen.

02:57I have experienced a lot,

02:58and I still have to do it.

03:00How injustice was done to me.

03:02There are great people.

03:04That woman taught me,

03:06that to learn,

03:08the pattern of virtues,

03:09no one is perfect,

03:10and no one can claim that he is perfect.

03:12Uttam, Adhik, Uttam, Sarve, Tam,

03:13up to infinity.

03:14There is no perfection between us,

03:16we are all imperfect.

03:18And understanding this,

03:20when we get to learn from small experiences in life,

03:22that is the wealth of our life.
