His ideological and teaching influences were significant – Krishna and the Bhagavad Gita – yet his influence upon the world was just as strong. Even so, he never claimed to be anything more than a simple man with normal abilities no different than any other human being; however, he noted that the primary difference was he put his abilities to work for him and his people, while most merely accept their lot in life without appealing to a higher spirituality.
