Whatsoever the Best doeth, that the lower kind of man puts into practice; the standard he creates, the people follow.
Gītā 3·21The best, the individuals who are in advance of the general line and above the general level of the collectivity, are the natural leaders of mankind, for it is they who can point to the race both the way they must follow and the standard or ideal they have to keep to or to attain.
