I am looking forward for those young people who should take initiative and plunge into various positive and constructive activities of their own choice. Odds are heavy but I still hope that they would rise to the occasion. The old and middle-aged people are reluctant to take risks and just pamper their fears. They submit to the traditions. We have to live and act in the present. Here we are not to proceed wrecklessly. We should not permit our conditions to drift. We have to exert all our energies for raising a right kind of the world. For that suitable norms are to be worked out. Right principles are to be drawn up and correct techniques discovered for their execution. Many important functions are awaiting out elite today. If we postpone our responsibilities to the following generation, the results can be disastrous. Now or never is the situation. Sermon preached by the Gita is very important and even correct but the argument does not end with it. We should try to see beyond also. I do not support these modern ideologies that emphasize rights and the negligence of duties at once. Such arrangements also cannot last long. If we simply cling to our duties live under the pious hope that we would get our shares, it is nonsence. If we neglect our duties and clamour ‘of our rights, we shall end in disaster. Life cannot acquire a higher purpose if it is exhausted simply in making the arrangements for earning two square meals. The poor have reasons for being helpless. Poverty is biting and robs everything in man, but if this immediate question of existence is somehow settled, it is the responsibility of an individual to see beyond the horizons of mere existence. The fact of death should always find some space in our minds. We should frequently ponder over it in an easy, clear, relaxed, and open manner.
