A very wise statement indeed Savithri !!! Secular thinking is today termed by some folks as anti Hindu.Better to preserve ones energy into something constructive than indulge in abstract and dry speculation.I think dabbling with erudition is absurd if it doesnt respect others views .

Thank you Kishoreji. The cause (Sanaathana Dharma) is greater than individuals. It is this cause that produces those heros (Dharma Rakshakas) who defend it. That which produces such heros sustains them too (DharmO Rakshathi Rakshitha
.
Individuals are thus tools only even it be Lord Krishna. Greater they are we consider them Gods. The greatest of them identifies Himself with the cause (Pundareekaakshan in the words of Bheeshma). He is considered the Father of existence (Bhoothaanaam yovya ya: pithaa).
(In Vishnu Sahasranamam, Bhishma tutors Yudhishtira on Dharma as follows:
Yad bhadhyaa pundareekaaksham sthavairassEn naras sadhaa
paramam yO mahath thEja: paramam yO mahath thapaha:
paramam yO mahath brahma: paramam ya: paraayaNam
pavithraaNaam pavithram yO mangalaanaam cha mangalam
daivatham dhEvathaanaam cha bhoothaanaam yO: avyaya; pithaa.)
If we engage ourselves in evaluating roles of individuals we risk diminishing the importance of the very cause that we try to defend. This cause is our very personality, our psyche, our existence - thus the cause is nothing but us the most auspicious ones (which is you and me and everyone else).
With best regards,
