Give me only four pure persons and I will shake the world -------------Swami Vivekanand
In his own words-----------------------
"Renunciation & Spirituality are the two great Indian ideas, and it is because India clings to these that all her mistakes count for so little......."
"Our solution is renunciation,giving up,fearlessness and love;these are the fittest to survive. Giving up the senses makes a nation survive. As a proof of this,here is history telling us of mushroom nations rising and falling almost every century -- starting up from nothingness,making vigorous play for a few days,and then melting,This big Indian gigantic race which had to grapple with some of the greatest problems of misfortunes,dangers and vicissitudes such as never fell upon the head od any other nation of the world survives because it has taken the side of renunciation,for without renunciation how can there be religion? Europe is trying to solve the other side of the problem as to how much a man can have,how much more power a man can posses by hook or by crook;by some means or other. Competition -- cruel,cold and heartless -- is the law of Europe. Our law is the breaking of competition.checking its forces,mitigating its cruelties,smoothing the pasage of the human soul through this mystery of life."
Our nation can meaningfully progress only if this spiritual vision of the web of Indian life is kept sign of. Any new policy or initiative for the nation's betterment,whether social reform, politics or in education;everything has to be preached and implemented only by showing how much more spiritual a life, the new system will bring,how much it will improve the one thing the nation wants--- its sprituality.
