Whether in a family, an institution or an organisation, it is important to understand that a human being is not an established quantity

A human being is not a resource – a human being is a possibility. A possibility means it is yet to be. If well nurtured, everyone is a fantastic possibility; if not nurtured properly, everyone is a serious problem – this is the nature of a human being. Whether it is a family, an institution or an organisation, it is important to understand that a human being is not an established quantity. It is just a possibility because unlike other creatures, we have not come fully developed.
If a tiger is born, it need not sit and worry as to how to become a good tiger. If it just gets enough food, it will become a good tiger. But once you are born as a human being, you have to do many things to become a good human being. Even after doing all those things, you still don’t know where you are because what is human is not defined. For every other creature, nature has drawn two lines. They live and die within those two lines. A human being has reached that point of evolution where there are no lines. They can become god-like or an absolute brute.
For example, if you plant a mango seed and nurture it, you do not have to worry whether it will become a coconut tree or a thorn bush. It can only become a mango tree. In a way, human beings are born like a seed too. But with a human being, they could turn into a sage or a sorcerer. Depending on how you nurture a human being, they can become absolutely fantastic or an unimaginable horror.
