GOD HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES Anyone who wants success to come his way in this world of God, will first have to make himself deserving of it. He must organize and channelize his energies properly. A young aspiring Muslim student from Azamgarh, A.M. Khan by name, stood nervously before the Principal of Hindu College. “Sir, I would very much like to be admitted to the B.Sc. course in your college.” The reaction was sharp. “The admissions are closed. How do you expect to be admitted in the month of October when you are already several months late with your applications?” Unforeseen circumstances had prevented young Khan from applying sooner, but he simply said, “It would be extremely kind of you if you would help me.” Then he added hesitatingly, “One whole year will be wasted for me if I am not granted admission.” The Principal’s reply was stern, “There is just no question of further admissions.”
