Claiming
of proprietary rights has its limits and limitations. Visible objects mostly
can't escape its purview; and they can be obtained by means fair or foul. But
the invisible ones elude its grasp. Further, evaluation of their intrinsic worth
too is not easy. Knowledge can be cited as an example, and this heritage belongs
to mankind, though its origin can be traced. Sincerity and industry, if impelled
by earnest seeking, this can be mastered and be made to serve any purpose. It is
nothing but immaturity that confines it to artificial regions, and what is more
to shed blood for owing or disowning it. Saints, seers, scholars, poets artists
and languages are the property of humanity; they must be adored irrespective of
the place and age they belong to. The wise always pay due homage and yearn for
more, read and venerate them.
