Summary

This quote highlights the dual nature of being a visionary. On one hand, visionaries possess the remarkable ability to perceive the future with exceptional clarity, allowing them to anticipate and predict what lies ahead. This can be seen as a gift, as it provides them with an advantage in planning and shaping the future. However, this attribute can also be likened to a curse, as it may burden them with the knowledge of potential obstacles, challenges, or even failures that others may not see. Ultimately, this quote underscores the unique perspective and challenges that visionaries face in navigating both the present and future.

A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance. It is fitting that at this solemn moment we take the pledge of dedication to the service of India and her people and to the still larger cause of humanity.
