OUR MODERN GENERATION:-1.

IN THESE HECTIC DAYS OF TALL-TALKING, SLOGAN HURLING AND EMPTY ENDEAVOUR THE SEEMINGLY INTELLECTUAL ERA VERY URGENTLY NEEDS SOME KIND OF A SELF-EDUCATION IN INDEPENDENT THINKING AND IN THE FUNDAMENTAL VALUES OF TRUE LIVING. OR ELSE OUR GENERATION, IN ITS BLIND HURRY, DISSIPATING AIMS AND THOUGHTLESS ACTIVITIES MIGHT SOON BUMP THE WORLD DOWN A PRECIPICE INTO SOME TRAGIC CATASTROPHE.


THIS CAN BE SAID, NO DOUBT, OF ALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD, BUT IT IS MORE TRULY SO IN THE MODERN HISTORY OF OUR OWN NATION. IN OUR OVER-ENTHUSIASM AN IMMATURE COUNTRY IS TRYING TO BRING ABOUT AN ORGANISED REVOLUTION ALL AROUND, WHEREIN THE ILLITERATE  MILLIONS AND THE RELATIVELY FEW LITERATE BUT WEAK MEN AND WOMEN ARE BING PUSHED FORWARD INTO THE FRONT RANK WHERE THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR OR HOW THEY ARE TO FIGHT. SUCH COLOSSAL FIGHT AT ALL LEVELS FOR A RENAISSANCE LIFE CANNOT BE BROUGHT ABOUT UNTIL THE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTRY ARE EDUCATED SUFFICIENTLY TO FEEL THE INSPIRATION FOR REBUILDING OF THEIR COUNTRY.


RELIGION, AS AN INSTITUTION  OR A PHILOSOPHER, AS A TEACHER, IS NOT EXPECTED TO INTERFERE WITH EITHER THE VISION OF THE POLITICIANS OR THE STRIFE OF THE MASSES. AT THE SAME TIME NEITHER THE PRIESTS NOR THE PHILOSOPHER CAN BE TOTALLY EXCUSED IF THEY LIVE COMPLETELY BLIND TO THE STUPIDITIES AROUND AND DO NOT REFLECT UPON THEM.

Spiritual Import of Religious Festivals - 17.1

19/10/2018 17 - The Awakening Message : 1. The inaugural message given at the 24th All India Divine Life Conference held at the Convention Hall of the Ashoka Hotel, New Delhi, on 29th of December, 1973. It would not be easy for many of you to envisage the purpose of a Divine Life Conference. At the outset I may take the liberty of pointing out that this is not a religious conference, in the sense religion is interpreted and understood by the popular mind. It is not the intention of this conference to tell you something stereotyped or to give you a diversion from the boredom of your daily life. With the benign blessings of most worshipful Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj and the grace of the Almighty, this conference has been inaugurated and conceived to point out to the human mind in general a way of extricating itself from the meshes in which it seems to be involved. Man has to become man in order that he may accelerate his progress to a state which is superhuman. Mankind today m...
