"Wir sind als Menschen gleich […], einfach durch die Tatsache, dass wir alle Menschenantlitz tragen… Wir sind verschieden voneinander durch unsere individuellen Begabungen, die aber unserer Innerlichkeit angehören."
"Manche großen Begabungen sind daran gescheitert, dass sie eine zu hohe Meinung von ihren eigenen Entdeckungen hatten."
"Ich habe keine besondere Begabung, sondern bin nur leidenschaftlich neugierig."
"Ich habe keine Begabung zum Chef, auch nicht zum Gefolgsmann."
"Für das Maß seiner Begabung ist der Mensch nicht verantwortlich, wohl aber dafür, wie er die ihm verliehenen Gaben ausgebildet und benutzt hat."
"Erfolg hat immer das gleiche Prinzip: Fleiß, Ausdauer, Begabung und Glück."
"Alles, was man tun muss, um seine Begabung durchzusetzen, ist dauerhaft und intensiv nachzudenken und im Schweiße seines Angesichts zu arbeiten, ohne Unterlass."
Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
