Title: An Intellectual Is An Enlightened Person Who Has To Give Light

An intellectual is one who is enlightened and being an enlightened person, he has to give light to others who are in need of it. In every society, we find intellectuals such as philosophers, scientists, scholars, writers and critics; and they as enlightened men, have a great responsibility towards society. In a society all cannot be intellectuals. If a time comes when all are intellectuals, it would be a blessed time indeed, but at present at any rate, all are not intellectuals and those who are intellectuals have the great responsibility of guiding others on to the right path. If today we have our civilization and culture, if we have orders and security in the life and if our life is better then that of our primitive ancestors, it is because the intellectuals from time to time have been guiding humanity on the path of felicity and amity. The intellectuals should come out of his ivory tower and try to elevate others to his level. The intellectual has the duty of seeing the truth and teaching it to others. The contemplation of the eternal laws of the universe brings about a tranquil exaltation of the mind. The perception of the truth is almost the same as perception of beauty and the duty of an intellectual is to see this truth or beauty and to reveal it to others.
