Have a look :<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Have all that you want, and more, only know the truth and realize
it. Wealth does not belong to anybody. - God is Everything, Jnana Yoga,
Volume 2</li><li>Wealth goes, beauty
vanishes, life flies, powers fly - but the Lord abideth for ever, love
abideth for ever. - XLIV Sisters, Epistles - Second Series, Volume 6</li><li>Swami
Vivekananda quote: Wealth goes, beauty vanishes, life flies, powers fly
- but the Lord abideth for ever, love abideth for ever.</li><li>The
test of progress is the amount of renunciation that one has attained.
Where you find the attraction for lust and wealth considerably
diminished, to whatever creed he may belong, know that his inner spirit
is awakening. - XVII, Conversations and Dialogues, Volume 7</li><li>A
man must not say he is poor, or that he is wealthy - he must not brag
of his wealth. Let him keep his own counsel; this is his religious duty.
- Each Is Great In His Own Place, Karma Yoga, Volume 1</li><li>This
eternal sacrifice of the self unto the Beloved Lord is higher by far
than all wealth and power, than even all soaring thoughts of renown and
enjoyment. - Universal Love and How it Leads to Self Surrender,
Para-Bhakti or Supreme Devotion, Volume 3</li><li>Men are
ever running after wives and wealth and fame in this world; sometimes
they are hit very hard on the head, and they find out what this world
really is. No one in this world can really love anything but God. - The
First Steps, Addresses on Bhakti-Yoga, Volume 4</li><li>Men are more valuable than all the wealth of the world. - XL Alasinga, Epistles - First Series, Volume 5</li><li>
If you desire wealth, and know at the same time that the whole world regards him who aims at wealth as a very wicked man, you, perhaps, will not dare to plunge into the struggle for wealth, yet your mind will be running day and night after money. This is hypocrisy and will serve no purpose. Plunge into the world, and then, after a time, when you have suffered and enjoyed all that is in it, will renunciation come; then will calmness come. - Each Is Great In His Own Place, Karma Yoga, Volume 1</li><li>A householder who does not struggle to get wealth is immoral. If he is lazy and content to lead an idle life, he is immoral, because upon him depend hundreds. If he gets riches, hundreds of others will be thereby supported. - Each Is Great In His Own Place, Karma Yoga, Volume 1</li><li>Going after wealth in such a case is not bad, because that wealth is for distribution. The householder is the center of life and society. It is a worship for him to acquire and spend wealth nobly, for the householder who struggles to become rich by good means and for good purposes is doing practically the same thing for the attainment of salvation as the anchorite does in his cell when he is praying; for in them we see only the different aspects of the same virtue of self-surrender and self-sacrifice prompted by the feeling of devotion to God and to all that is His. - Each Is Great In His Own Place, Karma Yoga, Volume 1</li><li>When we are healthy and young, we think that all the wealth of the world will be ours, and when later we get kicked about by society like footballs and get older, we sit in a corner and croak and throw cold water on the enthusiasm of others. Few men know that with pleasure there is pain, and with pain, pleasure; and as pain is disgusting, so is pleasure, as it is the twin brother of pain. - Steps to Realization, Lectures, Volume 1</li><li>Man cannot be satisfied by wealth. - Realization, Jnana Yoga, Volume 2</li><li>Wealth may come and go, misfortunes may pile mountains high, but if you have kept the ideal entire, nothing can kill you. - The Way to the Realization of a Universal Religion, Practical Vedanta And Other Lectures, Volume 2</li><li>Believe in yourselves, and if you want material wealth, work it out; it will come to you. - The Vedanta, Lectures from Colombo to Almora, Volume 3</li><li>All this that you see, the pains and the miseries, are but the necessary conditions of this world; poverty and wealth and happiness are but momentary; they do not belong to our real nature at all. - Freedom, Karma Yoga, Volume 1</li><li>Enjoyment, misery, luxury, wealth, power, and poverty, even life itself, are all evanescent. - The Real Nature of Man, Jnana Yoga, Volume 2</li><li>This craving for health, wealth, long life, and the like - the so-called good - is nothing but an illusion. - Discipleship, Lectures and Discourses, Volume 8</li></ol>

Take a look :</p><blockquote class="tr_bq"><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Our power, and blessedness, and wisdom, cannot but grow into the Infinite. Infinite power and existence and blessedness are ours, and we have not to acquire them; they are our own, and we have only to manifest them. - Practical Vedanta: Part III, Practical Vedanta and Other Lectures, Volume 2</li><li>The human soul is the repository of infinite wisdom. - Knowledge: Its Source and Acquirement, Translations: Prose, Volume 4</li><li>In Sanskrit, God means absolute existence, knowledge, and wisdom, infinite self-luminous consciousness. No person. It is impersonal. - Meditation, Lectures and Discourses, Volume 4</li><li>Wisdom (Jnana) is the goal of all life. We find that man enjoys his intellect more than an animal enjoys its senses; and we see that man enjoys his spiritual nature even more than his rational nature. So the highest wisdom must be this spiritual knowledge. With this knowledge will come bliss. - Unity, the Goal of Religion, Lectures and Discourses, Volume 3</li><li>Divine wisdom is to be got by devotion, meditation, and chastity. - Wednesday, July 10, Inspired Talks, Volume 7</li><li>Religion, which is the highest knowledge and the highest wisdom, cannot be bought, nor can it be acquired from books. You may thrust your head into all the corners of the world, you may explore the Himalayas, the Alps, and the Caucasus, you may sound the bottom of the sea and pry into every nook of Tibet and the desert of Gobi, you will not find it anywhere until your heart is ready for receiving it. - Qualifications of the Aspirant and the Teacher, Bhakti Yoga, Volume 3</li><li>Wisdom and philosophy do not want to be carried on floods of blood. Wisdom and philosophy do not march upon bleeding human bodies, do not march with violence but come on the wings of peace and love, and that has always been so. - The Work before us, Lectures from Colombo to Almora, Volume 3</li><li>A man must not say he is poor, or that he is wealthy - he must not brag of his wealth. Let him keep his own counsel; this is his religious duty. This is not mere worldly wisdom; if a man does not do so, he may be held to be immoral. - Each is Great in His Own Place, Karma Yoga, Volume 1</li><li>Each one of our Yogas is fitted to make man perfect even without the help of the others, because they have all the same goal in view. The Yogas of work, of wisdom, and of devotion are all capable of serving as direct and independent means for the attainment of Moksha. - Non-Attachment is Complete Self-Abnegation, Karma Yoga, Volume 1</li><li>We think we are going to get security, strength, wisdom, happiness from the outside. We always hope but never realize our hope. Never does any help come from the outside. - Is Vedanta The Future of Religion?, Lectures and Discourses, Volume 8</li></ol></blockquote>

</tbody></table>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">The education which does not help the common mass of people to equip
themselves for the struggle for life, which does not bring out strength
of character, a spirit of philanthropy, and the courage of a lion— is
it worth of the name? Real education is that which enables one to stand
on one's own legs.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The first duty is to educate the people. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The ideal of all education, all training, should be this man-making.
But, instead of that, we are always trying to polish up the outside.
What use in polishing up the outside when there is no inside? The end
and aim of all training is to make the man grow. The man who influences,
who throws his magic, as it were, upon his fellow-beings, is a dynamo
of power, and when that man is ready, he can do anything and everything
he likes; that personality put upon anything will make it work.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The only way to bring about the levelling of caste is to appropriate
the culture, the education which is the strength of the higher castes.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">There is only one purpose in the whole of life — education. Otherwise what is the use of men and women, land and wealth?</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">To me the very essence of education is concentration of mind, not
the collecting of facts. If I had to do my education over again, and had
any voice in the matter, I would not study facts at all. I would
develop the power of concentration and detachment, and then with a
perfect instrument I could collect facts at will. Side by side, in the
child, should be developed the power of concentration and detachment.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">We have had a negative education all along from our boyhood. We have
only learnt that we are nobodies. Seldom are we given to understand
that great men were ever born in our country. Nothing positive has been
taught to us. We do not even know how to use our hands and feet! </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">We want that education by which character is formed, strength of
mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can
stand on one's own feet.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">You cannot teach a child any more than you can grow a plant. All you
can do is on the negative side—you can only help. It is a
manifestation from within; it develops its own nature—you can only take
away obstructions. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">You see, no one can teach anybody. The teacher spoils everything by
thinking that he is teaching. Thus Vedanta says that within man is all
knowledge—even in a boy it is so—and it requires only an awakening, and
that much is the work of a teacher. We have to do only so much for the
boys that they may learn to apply their own intellect to the proper use
of their hands, legs, ears, eyes, etc., and finally everything will
become easy.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">After preaching spiritual knowledge,
along with it will come that secular knowledge and every other
knowledge that you want; but if you attempt to get the secular
knowledge without religion, I tell you plainly, vain is your attempt in
India, it will never have a hold on the people.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">I look upon religion as the innermost core of education. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The root is religion. Religion is as the rice, and everything else,
like the curries. Taking only curries causes indigestion, and so is the
case with taking rice alone.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"> My idea of education is personal contact with the teacher -
Gurugriha-Vâsa. Without the personal life of a teacher there would be no
education. Take your Universities. What have they done during the fifty
years of their existences. They have not produced one original man.
They are merely an examining body. The idea of the sacrifice for the
common weal is not yet developed in our nation.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">One should live from his very boyhood with one whose character is
like a blazing fire and should have before him a living example of the
highest teaching. Mere reading that it is a sin to tell a lie will be of
no use. Every boy should be trained to practice absolute Brahmacharya,
and then, and then only, faith —Shraddha—will come. Otherwise, why will
not one who has no Shraddha speak an untruth? In our country, the
imparting of knowledge has always been through men of renunciation.
Later, the Pandits, by monopolising all knowledge and restricting it to
the tols, have only brought the country to the brink of ruin. India had
all good prospects so long as Tyâgis (men of renunciation) used to
impart knowledge.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"> Education is not filling the mind with a lot of facts. Perfecting the
instrument and getting complete mastery of my own mind [is the ideal of
education].</li>
<li>All the wealth of the world cannot help one little Indian village if
the people are not taught to help themselves. Our work should be
mainly educational, both moral and intellectual.</li>
<li>Educate and raise the masses, and thus alone a nation is possible. </li>
<li>Education, education, education alone! Traveling through many
cities of Europe and observing in them the comforts and education of
even the poor people, there was brought to my mind the state of our own
poor people, and I used to shed tears. What made the difference?
Education was the answer I got. Through education comes faith in one's
own Self, and through faith in one's own Self the inherent Brahman is waking up in them.</li>
<li>Education has yet to be in the world, and civilization — civilization has begun nowhere yet.</li>

<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li> I have come to deal with principles. I have only to preach that God comes again and again, and that He came in India as Krishna, Rama, and Buddha, and that He will come again. It can almost be demonstrated that after each 500 years the world sinks, and a tremendous spiritual wave comes, and on the top of the wave is a Christ. </li>
<li>He who was Shri Rama, whose stream of love flowed with resistless might even to the Chandala (the outcaste); Oh, who ever was engaged in doing good to the world though superhuman by nature, whose renown there is none to equal in the three worlds, Sita's beloved, whose body of Knowledge Supreme was covered by devotion sweet in the form of Sita. </li>
<li>Rama and Sita are the ideals of the Indian nation. </li>
<li>Rama, the ancient idol of the heroic ages, the embodiment of truth, of morality, the ideals son, the ideals husband, the ideal father, and, above all, the ideals all, the ideal king, this Rama has been presented before us by the great saint Valmiki. </li>
<li>"Where there is Rama, there is no Kama; where there is Kama, there Rama is not. Night and day can never exist together." The voice of the ancient sages proclaim to us, "If you desire to attain God, you will have to renounce Kâma-Kânchana (lust and possession). </li>
<li>Rama gave up his body an joined Sita in the other world. </li>
<li> You have now to make the character of Mahavira your ideal. See how at the command of Ramachandra he crossed the ocean. He had no care for life or death! </li>
<li> He was a perfect master of his senses and wonderfully sagacious. You have now to build your life on this great ideal of personal service. Through that, all other ideals will gradually manifest in life. Obedience to the Guru without questioning, and strict observance of Brahmacharya — this is the secret of success. As on the one hand Hanuman represent the ideal of service, so on the other hand he represents leonine courage, striking the whole world with awe. He has not the least hesitation in sacrificing his life for the good of Rama. A supreme indifference to everything except the service of Rama, even to the attainment of the status of Brahma and Shiva, the great World - gods! Only the carrying out of Shri Rama's best is the one vow of this life! Such whole - hearted devotion is wanted. </li>
<li>Rama was the soul of the old king; but he was a king, and he could not go back on his word. </li>
</ol>

<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Man cannot always think of matter, however pleasurable it may be. According to us, there are three things in the makeup of man. There is the body, there is the mind, and there is the soul </li>
<li>An intellectual, heartless man never becomes an inspired man. It is always the heart that speaks in the man of love; it discovers a greater instrument than intellect can give you, the instrument of inspiration.</li>
<li> As long as a man thinks, this struggle must go on, and so long man must have some form of religion.</li>
<li> Each man has a mission in life, which is the result of all his infinite past Karma.</li>
<li> Each man is divine. Each man that you see is a God by his very nature.</li>
<li> Each man is perfect by his nature; prophets have manifested this perfection, but it is potential in us.</li>
<li> Each man must begin where he stands, must learn how to control the things that are nearest to him.</li>
<li> Every human being has the right to ask the reason, why, and to have his question answered by himself, if he only takes the trouble.</li>
<li>Great occasions rouse even the lowest of human beings to some kind of greatness, but he alone is the really great man whose character is great always, the same wherever he be.</li>
<li> In one sense Brahman is known to every human being; he knows, "I am"; but man does not know himself as he is.</li>
<li>Infinite perfection is in every man, though unmanifested.</li>
<li>Man always is perfect, or he never could become so; but he had to realise it.</li>
<li>Man as Atman is really free; as man he is bound, changed by every physical condition.</li>
<li>Man can become like God and acquire control over the whole universe if he multiplies infinitely his centre of self-consciousness.</li>
<li>Man can think of divine things only in his own human way, to us the Absolute can be expressed only in our relative language.</li>
<li> Man cannot always think of matter, however pleasurable it may be.</li>
<li> Man cannot be satisfied by wealth. </li>
<li> Man cannot go beyond his nature, no more than you can jump out of your body.</li>
<li> Man cannot live upon words, however he may try.</li>
<li> Man dies but once. My disciples must not be cowards.</li>
<li> Man has infinite power within himself, and he can realise it -- he can realise himself as the one infinite Self. It can be done; but you do not believe it. You pray to God and keep your powder dry all the time.</li>
<li> Man in his true nature is substance, soul, spirit.</li>
<li> Man is a degeneration of what he was.</li>
<li> Man is born to conquer nature and not to follow it.</li>
<li> Man is greater than the gods.</li>
<li> Man is guided by the stomach. He walks and the stomach goes first and the head afterwards. Have you not seen that? It will take ages for the head to go first.</li>
<li> Man is man so long as he is struggling to rise above nature, and this nature is both internal and external.</li>
<li> Man is not mind, he is soul.</li>
<li> Man is really free, the real man cannot but be free.</li>
<li> Man is the apex of the only world we can ever know.</li>
<li> Man is the best mirror, and the purer the man, the more clearly he can reflect God.</li>
<li> Man is the epitome of all things and all knowledge is in him.</li>
<li> Man is the greatest being that ever can be.</li>
<li> Man is the highest being in creation, because he attains to freedom.</li>
<li> Man is the highest being that exists, and this is the greatest world.</li>
<li> Man is the nearest approach to Brahman.</li>
<li> Man is the product of two forces, action and reaction, which make him think.</li>
<li> Man makes the mistake of separating himself from God and identifying himself with the body.</li>
<li> Man never dies, nor is he ever born; bodies die, but he never dies.</li>
<li> Man, therefore, according to the Vedanta philosophy, is the greatest being that is in the universe.</li>
<li> Swami Vivekananda Quotes On Man Or Human Being:</li>
<li> Man will have to go beyond intellect in the end.</li>
<li> Man's experience in the world is to enable him to get out of its whirlpool.</li>
<li> Man's free agency is not of the mind, for that is bound. There is no freedom there.</li>
<li> Man the infinite dreamer, dreaming finite dreams!</li>
<li> Manushya (man) is a being with Manas (mind); and as soon as his thinking power goes, he becomes no better than an animal.</li>
<li>Never say any man is hopeless, because he only represents a character, a bundle of habits, which can be checked by new and better ones. Character is repeated habits, and repeated habits alone can reform character.</li>
<li> Only man makes Karma.</li>
<li> The animal man lives in the senses. If he does not get enough to eat, he is miserable; or if something happens to his body, he is miserable. In the senses both his misery and his happiness begin and end.</li>
<li>The apparent man is only a limitation of that Real Man.</li>
<li> The calm man is not the man who is dull. You must not mistake Sattva for dullness or laziness. The calm man is the one who has control over the mind waves. Activity is the manifestation of inferior strength, calmness, of the superior.</li>
<li> The happiest is the man who is not at all selfish. The ignorant man never enjoys.</li>
<li> The glory of man is that he is a thinking being. It is the nature of man to think and therein he differs from animals</li>
<li> The perfect man sees nothing but God.</li>
<li> The real man is the one Unit Existence.</li>
<li> There is no end to the power a man can obtain.</li>
<li> We can have no conception of God higher than man, so our God is man, and man is God.</li>
<li> Well has it been said that man is the only animal that naturally looks upwards; every other animal naturally looks down.</li>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Man has an idea that there can be only one religion, that there can
be only one Prophet, and that there can be only one Incarnation; but
that idea is not true. By studying the lives of all these great
Messengers, we find that each, as it were, was destined to play a part,
and a part only; that the harmony consists in the sum total and not in
one note. As in the life of races — no race is born to alone enjoy the
world. None dare say no. Each race has a part to play in this divine
harmony of nations. Each race has its mission to perform, its duty to
fulfil. The sum total is the great harmony. </div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
According to <a href="http://indiancityblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Indian</a> Hindu Monk Swami Vivekannada - He is an Acharya through whom the divine power acts.</blockquote>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Guru-Bhakti is the foundation of all spiritual development.</li>
<li>It is easier to become a Jivanmukta (free in this very life) than to
be an Acharya. For the former knows the world as a dream and has no
concern with it; but an Acharya knows it as a dream and yet has to
remain in it and work.</li>
<li>It is not possible for everyone to be a Guru.</li>
<li>It is the knowledge of the spirit of the scriptures alone that constitutes the true religious teacher.</li>
<li>Know it for certain that without steady devotion for the Guru and
unflinching patience and perseverance, nothing is to be achieved.</li>
<li>My dearest and nearest relative in life is my Guru; next, my mother;
then my father. My first reverence is to the Guru. If my father says,
"Do this", and my Guru says, "Do not do this", I do not do it. The Guru
frees my soul. The father and mother give me this body; but the Guru
gives me rebirth in the soul.</li>
<li> The Guru must teach me and lead me into light, make me a link in
that chain of which he himself is a link. The man in the street cannot
claim to be a Guru. The Guru must be a man who has known, has actually
realised the Divine truth, has perceived himself as the spirit. </li>
<li>A mere
talker cannot be the Guru. A talkative fool like me can talk much, but
cannot be the Guru. A true Guru will tell the disciple, "Go and sin no
more"; and no more can he sin, no more has the person the power to sin.</li>
<li>The one who has the power of transmitting this current is called a Guru.</li>
<li>The power that can transform life in a moment can be found only in
the living illumined souls, those shining lights who appear among us
from time to time. They alone are fit to be Gurus.</li>
<li>There is no other teacher but your own soul.</li>
<li>We must all wait till the Guru comes, and the Guru must be worshipped as God.</li>
<li>Without an unbroken chain of discipleship—Guruparampara—nothing can be done.</li>
<li>My success is due to my popular style — the greatness of a teacher consists in the simplicity of his language.</li>
<li>Mind you, the Guru-Bhakta will conquer the world — this is the one evidence of history.</li>
<li>Only the knowers of Brahman are the spiritual teachers of mankind.</li>
<li>The disciple must worship the Guru as God Himself.</li>
<li>The father and mother give me this body; but the Guru gives me rebirth in the soul.</li>
<li>The first lamp is the Guru, and the lamp that is lighted from it is
the disciple. The second in turn becomes the Guru, and so on.</li>
<li>The Guru has to bear the disciple's burden of sin.</li>
<li>The Guru is the bright mask which God wears in order to come to us.</li>
<li>The Guru is the conveyance in which the spiritual influence is
brought to you. Anyone can teach, but the spirit must be passed on by
the Guru to the Shishya (disciple), and that will fructify.</li>
<li>The Guru is the means of realization. "There is no knowledge without a teacher."</li>
<li>Anyone and everyone cannot be an Guru ; but many may become Mukta (liberated).</li>
<li>Find the teacher, serve him as a child, open your heart to his influence, see in him God manifested.</li>
<li>He alone teaches who has something to give, for teaching is not
talking, teaching is not imparting doctrines, it is communicating.</li>

My dear countrymen,<br />
<br />
Today, all Proud Indians in the country and also abroad are celebrating the
festival of independence. On this day of sacred festival of
independence, the prime servant of India extends greetings to all dear
countrymen.<br />
<br />
I am <span class="text_exposed_show">present amidst
you not as the Prime Minister, but as the Prime Servant. The freedom
struggle was fought for so many years, so many generations laid down
their lives, innumerable people sacrificed their lives and youth, spent
their entire lives behind bars. Today, I pay my respect, greetings and
homage to all those who laid their lives for the country`s independence.<br /> <br />
PM Narendra Modi with kidsI also pay my respects to the crores of
citizens of this country on the pious occasion of India's independence,
and recall all those martyrs who had laid down their lives in India's
struggle for freedom. The day of Independence is a festival when we take
a solemn pledge of working for the welfare of mother India, and also
for the welfare of the poor, oppressed, Dalits, the exploited & the
backward people of our country.<br /> <br /> My dear countrymen, a national
festival is an occasion to refine and rebuild the national character.
This National festival inspires us to resolve ourselves to lead a life
where our character gets refined further, to dedicate ourselves to the
nation and our every activity is linked to the interest of the nation
and only then this festival of freedom can be a festival of inspiration
to take India to newer heights.<br /> My dear countrymen, this nation has neither been built by political leaders nor by rulers nor by governments.<br /> <br />
This nation has been built by our farmers, our workers, our mothers and
sisters, our <a href="http://swami-vivekananda-india.blogspot.in/2014/05/swami-vivekananda-quotes-on-youth.html" target="_blank">youth</a>. The country has reached here today because of
generation to generation rigours undertaken by our sages, our saints,
our maestros, our teachers, our scientists and social workers. These
great people and these great generations, who had worked for the country
throughout their lives, deserve our deepest respect.<br /> <br /> This is
the beauty of India's Constitution, this is its capability which has
made it possible that today a boy from small town, a poor family has got
the opportunity to pay homage to the Tricolour of India at the ramparts
of Lal Quila (Red Fort). This is the strength of India's democracy.
This is an invaluable legacy which we have inherited from our architects
of the Constitution. I pay my respects to those architects of the
constitution of India today.PM Narendra Modi at Red Fort<br /> <br />
Brothers and sisters, today if we have reached here after independence,
it is because of the contribution of all the Prime Ministers, all the
governments and even the governments of all the States. I want to
express my feelings of respect and gratitude to all those previous
governments and ex-Prime Ministers who have endeavoured to take our
present day India to such heights and who have added to the country's
glory.<br /> <br /> This country has been built on such foundation of
ancient cultural heritage, where we were told of only one mantra during
Vedic period, which is indicative of our work culture, which we have
learnt, we have memorized - "Sangachchhdhvam Samvadadhvam sam wo manansi
jaanataam." We walk together, we move together, we think together, we
resolve together and together we take this country forward.<br /> <br /> PM
Narendra Modi Having imbibed this basic mantra, 125 crore countrymen
have taken the nation forward. Yesterday only the first Parliamentary
Session of the new government had concluded.<br /> <br /> Today, I can
proudly say that the session of Parliament reflects our thinking and it
is a reflection of our intentions. We are not for moving forward on the
basis of majority, we are not interested to move forward by virtue of
majority. We want to move ahead on the basis of strong consensus.
"Sangachhadhwam" and, therefore, the nation has witnessed the entire
session of Parliament.<br /> <br /> Having taken all the Parties and
Opposition along while working shoulder to shoulder, we achieved an
unprecedented success and the credit for this does not go to the Prime
Minister alone, the credit does not go to the people sitting in the
government, the credit for this goes to the Opposition also, the credit
goes to all the leaders of Opposition too and also all the Members from
Opposition.<br /> <br /> From the ramparts of Red Fort, quite proudly I
salute all the Members of Parliament, I also salute all the political
parties and by virtue of their strong support, we could take some
important decisions intended to take the nation forward and yesterday
the Session of Parliament had concluded.<br /> <br /> Brothers and sisters, I
am an outsider for Delhi; I am not a native of Delhi. I have no idea
about the administration and working of this place. I have been quite
isolated from the elite class of this place but during the last two
months while being an outsider, I had an insider view and I was
astonished. It is not a political platform, rather it is a platform of a
national policy and, therefore, my views should not be evaluated from a
political perspective.<br /> <br /> I have already said, I salute all the
ex-Prime Ministers and earlier governments who have brought the country
thus far. But I am going to say something else and it may not be seen
from political point of view. When I came to Delhi and noticed an
insider view, I felt what it was and I was surprised to see it. It
seemed as if dozens of separate governments are running at the same time
in one main government. It appeared that everyone has its own fiefdom. I
could observe disunity and conflict among them. One department is
taking on the other department and taking on to the extent that two
departments of the same government are fighting against each other by
approaching Supreme Court. This disunity, this conflict among people of
the same country! How come we can take the country forward? And that is
why I have started making efforts for razing those walls; I have started
making efforts at making the government, not an assembled entity, but
an organic unity, an organic entity, a harmonious whole- with one aim,
one mind, one direction, one energy.<br /> <br /> Let's resolve to steer the
country to one destination. We have it in us to move in that direction.
A few days back...Nowadays newspapers are full of news that Modi-ji's
government has come, officers are reaching office on time, offices open
in time, and people get there in time. I observed that India's national
newspapers, TV media were carrying these news items prominently.<br /> <br />
As the head of the government I could have derived pleasure in the fact
that everything started going on time, cleanliness got the attention,
but I was not taking pleasure, I was feeling pained. That thing, I want
to tell today in public. And why, because if government officers arrive
office in time, does that make a news? And if that makes news, it shows
how low we have fallen. It becomes a proof of that, and that's how,
brothers and sisters, the governments have run? Today in the face of
global competition, when we have to realise the dreams of millions of
Indians, the country cannot run on the lines of "it happens", "it goes".<br /> <br />
In order to fulfill the aspirations of masses, we have to sharpen the
tool called the government machinery, we have to make it keen, more
dynamic, and it is in this direction that we are working.<br /> <br /> My
countrymen, it's not long since I have come from outside Delhi, but I
give you an assurance that the people in the government are very capable
- from the peon to the Cabinet Secretary, everybody is capable,
everybody has a power, they have experience. I want to awaken that
power, I want to unite that power and want to accelerate the pace of the
welfare of nation through that power and I shall definitely do it. I
want to assure the countrymen that we will achieve that, we will
definitely do that. I could not say this on 16th May, but today after my
experience of two-two and half months, keeping the Tricolour as
witness, I am saying on 15th of August that it is possible, it will be
achieved.<br /> <br /> Brothers and sisters, time has come to give a serious
thought to the fact that whether we have a duty to create India of the
dreams of those great people who gave us freedom, whether we have a
national character?<br /> <br /> Brothers and sisters, can someone please
tell me as to whether he or she has ever introspected in the evening
after a full day's work as to whether his or her acts have helped the
poor of the country or not, whether his or her actions have resulted in
safeguarding the interest of the country or not, whether the actions
have been directed in country's welfare or not? Whether it should not be
the motto of one and a quarter billion countrymen that every step in
life should be in the country's interests?<br /> <br /> Unfortunately, we
have an environment today wherein if you approach anyone with some work,
he begins by saying "what does it mean for me?" He begins by saying
"what does it involve for me?" and when he come to know that it does not
entail any benefit for him, immediately he says "why should I bother?"
We have to rise above the feelings of "what does it mean for me?" and
"why should I bother?".<br /> <br /> Everything is not for self-interest
only. There are certain things which are meant for the country and we
have to refine this national character. We have to rise above the
feelings of "why should I bother?" and "what does it mean for me?" and
instead we have to think that "I am for nation's interest and in this
field, I am going to lead". We have to inculcate this sentiment.<br /> <br />
Brothers and sisters, when we hear about the incidents of rape, we hang
our heads in shame. People come out with different arguments, someone
indulges in psycho analysis, but brothers and sisters, today from this
platform, I want to ask those parents, I want to ask every parent that
you have a daughter of 10 or 12 years age, you are always on the alert,
every now and then you keep on asking where are you going, when would
you come back, inform immediately after you reach. Parents ask their
daughters hundreds of questions, but have any parents ever dared to ask
their son as to where he is going, why he is going out, who his friends
are. After all, a rapist is also somebody's son. He also has parents. As
parents, have we ever asked our son as to what he is doing and where he
is going? If every parent decides to impose as many restrictions on the
sons as have been imposed on our daughters, try to do this with your
sons, try to ask such questions of them.<br /> <br /> My dear brothers and
sisters, the law will take its own course, strict action will be taken,
but as a member of the society, as parents, we also have some
responsibilities.<br /> <br /> If somebody tells me that those who have
taken guns on their shoulders and kill innocent people are Maoists, are
terrorists, but they are also somebody's children. I would like to ask
of such parents if they had ever asked their children as to why they
were taking a wrong path. Every parent must take this responsibility; he
must know that his misguided son is bent on killing innocent people. He
is not able to serve himself nor his family nor the country. I want to
say to those youngsters who have chosen the path of violence that
whatever they are and wherever they are, it is all because of mother
India only that they have got it.<br /> <br /> Whoever you are it is all
because of your parents. I want to ask you to think how green, how
beautiful and how beneficial this earth can become if you shoulder the
plough instead of the gun which spills blood on this land. How long
shall we have bloodshed on this land, how long shall we take the lives
of the innocent people and what have we got after all this? The path of
violence has not yielded anything to us.<br /> <br /> Brothers and sisters, I
had gone to Nepal recently. There I said something publicly to draw the
attention of the whole world. There was a time when the Emperor Ashoka
who had chosen the path of wars, got converted to the path of Buddha at
the sight of violence.<br /> <br /> There was a time in Nepal when their
youngsters had opted for the path of violence but today I witness that
the same youngsters are waiting for their constitution. The same people
associated with them are framing the constitution. And I further said
that if Nepal could present the best example of moving from the weapons
to the books then it could provide inspiration to the youngsters in the
world to abandon the path of violence.<br /> <br /> Brothers and sisters, if
Nepal, the land of Buddha, can give message to the world then why can't
India too do the same? So it's the call of the hour that we renounce
the path of violence and take the path of brotherhood.<br /> <br /> Brothers
and sisters, for one reason or the other, we have had communal tensions
for ages. This led to the division of the country. Even after
Independence, we have had to face the poison of casteism and
communalism. How long these evils will continue? Whom does it benefit?
We have had enough of fights, many have been killed. Friends, look
behind and you will find that nobody has benefited from it. Except
casting a slur on Mother India, we have done nothing. Therefore, I
appeal to all those people that whether it is the poison of casteism,
communalism, regionalism, discrimination on social and economic basis,
all these are obstacles in our way forward. Let's resolve for once in
our hearts; let's put a moratorium on all such activities for 10 years,
we shall march ahead to a society which will be free from all such
tensions. And you will see that how much strength we get from peace,
unity, goodwill and brotherhood. Let`s experiment it for once.<br /> <br />
My dear countrymen, believe in my words, I do assure you. Shun all the
sins committed so far, give up that way, follow the way of goodwill and
brotherhood, and let's resolve to take the country forward. I believe we
can do that.<br /> <br /> With advancement of science, brothers and
sisters, we have a rising feeling of modernity in our mind, but what do
we do? Have we ever thought what the sex ratio in the country is like?
940 girls are born against per 1,000 boys. Who is causing this imbalance
in the society? Certainly not God. I request the doctors not to kill
the girl growing in the womb of a mother just to line their own pockets.
I advise mothers and sisters not to sacrifice daughters in the hope of
son. Sometimes mother-father feel tempted to have son in the hope of
supporting them in old age. I am a person who has worked in public life.
I have come across families with five sons, each having bungalows,
access to fleet of cars, but parents are forced to live in old-age
homes, Vriddhashrams. I have seen such families. I have also seen
families with only daughter as progeny, that daughter sacrifices her
dreams, doesn't get married, and spends entire life in taking care of
old parents.<br /> <br /> This disparity points to female foeticide and the
polluted and tainted mind the 21st century has. We will have to liberate
from it, and that is message to us of this freedom festival.<br /> <br />
Recently Commonwealth Games were organised. Indian sportspersons brought
glory to the country. Nearly 64 of our sportspersons won. Our
sportspersons brought 64 medals. But of them 29 are girls. Let's feel
proud and clap for them. Girls also contribute to India's fame and
glory. Let's recognise it. Let's take them along, shoulder to shoulder.
This way we can get over the evils that have crept in social life.
Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have to proceed in that direction as
a social and national character.<br /> <br /> Brothers and Sisters,
development is the only way forward for the country. Good governance is
the only way. There are only these two tracks to take the country
forward - good governance and development, we can move forward only by
taking them with us. We wish to move forward with the intent of taking
them with us. When I talk of good governance, you tell me, when I ask a
person in private job, he tells that he does the job; when you ask the
same from a person in government job, he says that I do the service.
Both earn, but for one it is job while for the other it is service. I
ask a question from all brothers and sisters in government service,
whether the word "service" has not lost its strength, its identity?
Persons in government service are not doing "job", they are doing
"service". We have to revive this feeling, we have to take this feeling
forward as a national character; we have to move forward in this
direction.<br /> <br /> Brothers and Sisters, whether the citizens of the
country should take steps for the welfare of the nation or not? You
imagine, if these 125 crore countrymen move one step forward, then the
country moves 125 crore steps forward. The meaning of democracy is not
just limited to electing a government, but its meaning is that 125 crore
of citizens work together joining shoulder with the government to
fulfill hopes and aspirations of the country, this is the meaning of
democracy.<br /> <br /> We have to create partnership with the people. We
have to proceed under Public-Private Partnership. We have to proceed
along with the participation of the people. But, please tell me why our
farmers commit suicide? A farmer takes loan from the moneylender, but
fails to repay his loans. He takes loan for the wedding of his daughter,
but fails to repay. He will have to suffer hardships during his whole
life. He chooses to commit suicide. Who will save the poor families of
such farmers?<br /> <br /> Brothers and sisters, I have come here with a
pledge to launch a scheme on this festival of Freedom. It will be called
Pradhanmantri Jan-Dhan Yojana. I wish to connect the poorest citizens
of the country with the facility of bank accounts through this yojana.
There are millions of families who have mobile phones but no bank
accounts. We have to change this scenario. Economic resources of the
country should be utilized for the well-being of the poor. The change
will commence from this point. This yojana will open the window.
Therefore, an account holder under `Pradhanmantri Jan-Dhan Yojana` will
be given a debit card. An insurance of Rs.1 lakh will be guaranteed with
that debit card for each poor family, so that such families are covered
with the insurance of rs 1 lakh in case of any crisis in their lives.<br /> <br />
My brothers and sisters, it is a country of young people. The 65
percent population of the country happens to be under the age of 35
years. Our country has the largest number of youths in the world. Have
we ever thought of deriving an advantage out of it? Today, the world
needs a skilled workforce. Today, India also needs a skilled workforce.
At times, we look for a good driver but he is not available, we look for
a plumber, but he is not available. If we need a good cook, he is not
available. We have young people, they are unemployed but the kind of
young people we seek for are not available. If we have to promote the
development of our country then our mission has to be "skill
development" and "skilled India".<br /> <br /> Millions and Millions of
Indian youth should go for acquisition of skills and there should be a
network across the country for this and not the archaic systems. They
should acquire the skills which could contribute towards making India a
modern country. Whenever they go to any country in the world, their
skills must be appreciated and we want to go for a two pronged
development.<br /> <br /> I also want to create a pool of young people who
are able to create jobs and the ones who are not capable of creating
jobs and do not have the opportunities, they must be in a position to
face their counterparts in any corner of the world while keeping their
heads high by virtue of their hard work and their dexterity of hands and
win the hearts of people around the world through their skills. We want
to go for the capacity building of such young people. My brothers and
sisters, having taken a resolve to enhance the skill development at a
highly rapid pace, I want to accomplish this.<br /> <br /> Brothers and
sisters, the world has undergone a change. My dear countrymen, the world
has changed. Now India can not decide its future by remaining isolated
and sitting alone in a corner. The economics of the world have changed
and, therefore, we will have to act accordingly. Government have taken
many decisions recently, made some announcements in the budget and I
call upon the world and call upon the Indians spread world over that if
we have to provide more and more employment to the youth, we will have
to promote manufacturing sector. If we have to develop a balance between
imports and exports, we will have to strengthen manufacturing sector.
If we have to put in use the education, the capability of the youth, we
will have to go for manufacturing sector and for this Hindustan also
will have to lend its full strength, but we also invite world powers.<br /> <br />
Therefore I want to appeal all the people world over, from the ramparts
of Red Fort, "Come, make in India", "Come, manufacture in India". Sell
in any country of the world but manufacture here. We have got skill,
talent, discipline, and determination to do something. We want to give
the world an favourable opportunity that come here, "Come, Make in
India" and we will say to the world, from electrical to electronics,
"Come, Make in India", from automobiles to agro value addition "Come,
Make in India", paper or plastic, "Come, Make in India", satellite or
submarine "Come, Make in India". Our country is powerful. Come, I am
giving you an invitation.<br /> <br /> Brothers and sisters, I want to call
upon the youth of the country, particularly the small people engaged in
the industrial sector. I want to call upon the youth working in the
field of technical education in the country. As I say to the world
"Come, Make in India", I say to the youth of the country - it should be
our dream that this message reaches every corner of the world, "Made in
India". This should be our dream. Whether, to serve the country, is it
necessary for the youth of the country to be hanged like Bhagat Singh?
Brothers and sisters, Lal Bahadur Shastri had given the slogan "Jai
Jawan, Jai Kisan". A soldier sacrifices himself at the border and
protects Mother India. Similarly, a farmer serves Mother India by
filling the godowns with grains. This is also nation's service. Filling
the granary is the biggest nation`s service that a farmer provides. That
is why Lal Bahadur Shashtri had given the slogan of "Jai Jawan, Jai
Kisan".<br /> <br /> Brothers and Sisters, I would like to pose a question
to my youngsters as to why despite them, we are forced to import even
the smallest of things? My country's youth can resolve it, they should
conduct research, try to find out as to what type of items are imported
by India and then each one should resolve that, through may be micro or
small industries only, he would manufacture atleast one such item so
that we need not import the same in future. We should even advance to a
situation wherein we are able to export such items. If each one of our
millions of youngsters resolves to manufacture at least one such item,
India can become a net exporter of goods. I, therefore, urge upon the
youth, in particular our small entrepreneurs that they would never
compromise, at least on two counts. First, zero defect and, second again
zero effect. We should manufacture goods in such a way that they carry
zero defect, that our exported goods are never returned to us. We should
manufacture goods with zero effect that they should not have a negative
impact on the environment. If we march ahead with the dream of zero
defect in the manufacturing sector then, my brothers and sisters, I am
confident that we would be able to achieve our goals.<br /> <br /> Brothers
and sisters, the youth of India has completely transformed the identity
of India in the world. Earlier, in what manner did the world know our
country? Till only 25-30 years back, if not more, there were many people
in the world who thought that India was a country of snake charmers, it
was a country which practiced in black magic.<br /> <br /> The real
identity of India had not reached the world, but my dear brothers and
sisters, our youngsters, 20-22-23 years old youngsters have mesmerized
the whole world with their skills in computers. Our young IT
professionals have given a new path of making a new identity of India.
If our country has this strength, can we think something about the
country? Our dream is, therefore, of "Digital India". When I talk of
"Digital India", I don't speak of the elite, it is for the poor people.<br /> <br />
You can imagine what a quality education the children in villages will
get, if all the villages of India are connected with broadband
connectivity and if we are able to give long distance education to the
schools in every remote corner of the villages. If we create a network
of telemedicine in the places where there is a shortage of doctors, we
can have a clear guideline of the way in which health facilities have to
be provided to the poor people living in those areas.<br /> <br /> The
citizens of India have mobile phones in their hands, they have mobile
connectivity, but can we walk in the direction of mobile governance? We
have to move in a direction where every poor person is able to operate
his bank account from his mobile, is able to demand various things from
the government, can submit applications, can conduct all his business,
while on the move, through mobile governance and if this has to be done,
we have to move towards `digital India` and if we have to move towards
`digital India` then we have a dream.<br /> <br /> Today we are importing
electronic goods on a large scale. Friends, you will be surprised that
we are bringing in these televisions, mobile phones, iPads and all these
electronic goods. It is a necessity to import petroleum products, oil,
diesel and petrol. Second to this is the import of our electronic goods.
If we move ahead with the dream of `digital India` to manufacture
electronic goods and become self reliant at least there, how big can be
the benefit for the treasury! Therefore, e-governance is what we need to
take this idea of `digital India` forward.<br /> <br /> E-governance is
easy governance, effective governance and also economic governance.
E-governance paves the way for good governance. There was a time when we
used to say that the railways provided connectivity to the country.
That was it. I say that today it is IT that has the potential to connect
each and every citizen of the country and that is why we want to
realise the mantra of unity with the help of "digital India".<br /> <br />
Brothers and sisters, if we move ahead with all this then I believe that
a `digital India` will have the potential to stand with the world on
equal footing. Our youth have that capability, it is an opportunity for
them.<br /> <br /> Brothers and sisters, we want to promote tourism. Tourism
provides employment to the poorest of the poor. Gram seller earns
something, auto-rickshaw driver earns something, pakoda seller earns
something and tea seller also earns something. When there is talk of tea
seller, I feel a sense of belongingness. Tourism provides employment to
the poorest of the poor. But there is a big obstacle in promoting
tourism and in our national character and that is - the filthiness all
around us. Whether after independence, after so many years of
independence, when we stand at the threshold of one and half decade of
21st century, we still want to live in filthiness? The first work I
started here after formation of government is of cleanliness. People
wondered whether it is a work of a prime minister? People may feel that
it is a trivial work for a Prime Minister but for me this big work.
Cleanliness is very big work. Whether our country can not be clean? If
125 crore countrymen decide that they will never spread filthiness,
which power in the world has ability to spread filthiness in our cities
and villages? Can't we resolve this much?<br /> <br /> Brothers and sisters
it will be the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi in 2019. How do
we celebrate 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi? Mahatma Gandhi,
who gave us freedom, who brought so much honour to such a big country
in the world, what do we give to Mahatma Gandhi? Brothers and Sisters,
Mahatma Gandhi had cleanliness and sanitation closest to his heart.
Whether we resolve not to leave a speck of dirt in our village, city,
street, area, school, temple, hospital, and what have you, by 2019 when
we celebrate 150th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi? This happens not just
with the Government, but with public participation. That's why we have
to do it together.<br /> <br /> Brother and Sisters, we are living in 21st
century. Has it ever pained us that our mothers and sisters have to
defecate in open? Whether dignity of women is not our collective
responsibility? The poor womenfolk of the village wait for the night;
until darkness descends, they can`t go out to defecate. What bodily
torture they must be feeling, how many diseases that act might engender.
Can't we just make arrangements for toilets for the dignity of our
mothers and sisters? Brothers and Sisters, somebody might feel that a
big festival like 15th August is an occasion to talk big.<br /> <br />
Brothers and Sisters, talking big has its importance, making
announcements too has importance, but sometimes announcements raise
hopes and when the hopes are not fulfilled, the society sinks into a
state of despondency. That's why are in favour of telling those things,
which we can fulfill just within our sight. Brothers and sisters, you
must be getting shocked to hear the Prime Minister speaking of
cleanliness and the need to build toilets from the ramparts of the Red
Fort.<br /> <br /> Brothers and sisters, I do not know how my speech is
going to be criticised and how will people take it. But this is my
heartfelt conviction. I come from a poor family, I have seen poverty.
The poor need respect and it begins with cleanliness. I, therefore, have
to launch a "Clean India" campaign from 2nd October this year and carry
it forward in 4 years. I want to make a beginning today itself and that
is - all schools in the country should have toilets with separate
toilets for girls. Only then our daughters will not be compelled to
leave schools midway. Our parliamentarians utilising MPLAD fund are
there. I appeal to them to spend it for constructing toilets in schools
for a year. The government should utilise its budget on providing
toilets. I call upon the corporate sector also to give priority to the
provision of toilets in schools with your expenditure under Corporate
Social Responsibility. This target should be finished within one year
with the help of state governments and on the next 15th August, we
should be in a firm position to announce that there is no school in
India without separate toilets for boys and girls.<br /> <br /> Brothers and
sisters, if we proceed with the dreams, we are in a position to realise
them. Today, I wish to tell one more specific thing. It has its own
importance to discuss the matters and express the views of nation's
interest. However, our Members of Parliament do not get opportunity
though they are willing to do something. They can express themselves,
write to the government, agitate, give memoranda. Still they do not get
opportunity to do something on their own.<br /> <br /> Today I have come to
you with a new idea. We are running so many schemes in the name of the
Prime Minister in our country, there are numerous schemes in the name of
various leaders. However, today I am going to announce a scheme on
behalf of the Member of Parliament- Sansad Aadarsh Gram Yojana. We shall
fix some parameters. I urge upon the Members of Parliament to select
any one of the villages having population of three to five thousand in
your constituency. The parameters will be according to the time, space
and situation of that locality. It will include the conditions of
health, cleanliness, atmosphere, greenery, cordiality etc.<br /> <br /> On
the basis of those parameters, each of our MPs should make one village
of his or her constituency a Model Village by 2016. Can't we do at least
this? Shouldn't we do this? If we have to build a nation, we should
start from the village. Make a Model Village. The reason of fixing this
target for 2016 is that it is a new scheme. It takes time to formulate a
scheme and then to implement it. After 2016, select two more villages
for this purpose, before we go for the General Elections in 2019. And
after 2019, each Member of Parliament, during his/her tenure of 5 years
must establish at-least five model villages in his/her area. I also call
upon the Members of Parliament from urban areas to adopt one village of
their choice.<br /> <br /> I also urge upon the Members of Parliament from
Rajya Sabha to adopt one of the villages. If we provide one model
village in each district of India then the surrounding villages shall be
automatically inspired to follow that model. Let us establish a model
village, let us establish a village well equipped with all systems and
facilities. The birth anniversary of Jai Prakash Narayan Ji happens to
be on 11th October.<br /> <br /> On 11th October, the occasion of birth
anniversary of Jai Prakash Narayan Ji, I will present a complete
blueprint of Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana (Members of Parliament Model
Village Scheme) before all Members of Parliament and State Governments,
and I urge upon State Governments also that as per the feasibility in
their respective states, all the Members of Legislative Assembly resolve
to establish a model village. You can imagine all the Members of
Legislative Assembly and all the Members of Parliament in the country
establishing a model village. All of a sudden, there would be a model
village in each block of India which could inspire us to transform the
amenities in rural areas and could give us a new direction and,
therefore, we want to move ahead under this Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana.<br /> <br />
My dear brothers and sisters, ever since our government has taken
charge, there has been a discussion in the newspapers, on TV channels as
to what would happen to Planning Commission. I believe that when
Planning Commission was constituted, it was done on the basis of the
circumstances and the needs of those times. In recent years, Planning
Commission has contributed to the growth of the country in its own way. I
respect that, I am proud of that, but the prevalent situation in the
country is different, global scenario has also changed, governments are
no longer the centre of economic activities, the scope of such
activities has broadened. State governments have been at the center of
development and I consider this a good indication. If we have to take
India forward, it can happen only by taking the states forward.<br /> <br />
India's federal structure is more important today than in the last 60
years. To strengthen our federal structure, to make our federal
structure vibrant, to take our federal structure as a heritage of
development, a team of Chief Minister and Prime Minister should be
there, a joint team of the Centre and the states should move forward,
then to do this job, we will have to think about giving the Planning
Commission a look. So, I am saying from the rampart of the Red Fort that
it is a very old system and it will have to be rejuvenated, it will
have to be changed a lot. Sometimes it costs more to repair the old
house, but, it gives us no satisfaction. Thereafter, we have a feeling
that it would be better to construct a new house altogether and
therefore within a short period, we will replace the planning commission
with a new institution having a new design and structure, a new body, a
new soul, a new thinking, a new direction, a new faith towards forging a
new direction to lead the country based on creative thinking,
public-private partnership, optimum utilization of resources,
utilization of youth power of the nation, to promote the aspirations of
state governments seeking development, to empower the state governments
and to empower the federal structure. Very shortly, we are about to move
in a direction when this institute would be functioning in place of
Planning Commission.<br /> <br /> Brothers and sisters, today, on 15th
August, we also have the birth anniversary of Maharishi Aurobindo.
Maharishi Aurobindo, being a rebel, moved on to achieve the status of a
Yoga Guru. With regard to the destiny of India, he remarked, "I have a
faith that the divine power and spiritual heritage of India will play an
important role towards the welfare of the world." Such sentiments were
echoed by Maharishi Arvind. I strongly believe in the words of legends. I
have great faith in the statements made by ascetics, sages & saints
and that's why today at the ramparts of Lal Quila I am reminded of the
words of Swami Viveknanda. He had said - "I can see before my eyes
Mother India awakening once again. My Mother India would be seated as
the World Guru. Every Indian would render service towards welfare of
humanity. This legacy of India would be useful for the welfare of the
world". </span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show">These words were spoken by Swami Viveknanda ji in his own style.
Friends, the words of Viveknanda ji can never be untrue. The words of
Viveknanda ji, his dream of seeing India ensconced as World Guru, his
vision, it is incumbent upon us to realize that dream. This capable
country, blessed with natural bounty, this country of youth can do much
for the world in the coming days.<br /> <br /> Brothers and sisters, our
foreign policy is a much talked about issue. I clearly believe that
India's foreign policy can be multi-dimensional. But there is an
important issue to which I want to draw your attention that the way we
fought for freedom, we fought together; we were not separate at that
time. We were together. Which was the government with us? What were the
weapons available to us? There was a Gandhi, a Sardar and lakhs of
freedom fighters and such a huge empire. Didn't we win in the struggle
of freedom against that empire? Did we not defeat the foreign powers?
Did we not force them to leave India? We were the ones, they were our
ancestors only who showed this might. If the people of India could
remove such a big empire without the power of the government, without
weapons and even without resources, then friends, it is the need of the
hour to eradicate poverty, can we not overcome poverty? Can we not
defeat poverty? My 125 crore dear countrymen, let us resolve to
eradicate poverty, to win against it. Let us move with the dream of
poverty eradication from India. Our neighbouring countries are also
faced with the same problem. Why not get together with all the SAARC
nations to plan out the fight against poverty? Let`s fight together and
defeat poverty. Let us see at-least for once as to how wonderful is the
feeling of being alive instead of killing and getting killed.<br /> <br />
This is the land where incidents from Sidharth's life happened. One bird
was shot with an arrow by one brother and the other took out that arrow
to save it. They went to mother- whose bird, whose swan? Whether
killer's or saviour's, they asked of mother. The mother replied,
saviour's. The saviour has more power than the killer and that makes him
Buddha in future. And that's why I seek cooperation from neighbouring
countries for fighting against poverty in concert and cooperate with
them, so that together with SAARC countries we can create our importance
and emerge as a power in the world. It is imperative that we work
together with a dream to win a fight against poverty, shoulder to
shoulder.<br /> <br /> I went to Bhutan, Nepal, all the dignitaries from
SAARC countries took part in oath-taking ceremony; this marked a good
beginning. This will definitely yield good results, it is my belief and
this thinking of India, in the country and the world, that we want to do
well to the countrymen and be useful for the welfare of the world,
India wants such a hand to be extended. We are trying to move forward
with these dreams to achieve them.<br /> <br /> Brothers and Sisters, today
on 15th August we will resolve to do something for the country. Let's be
useful for the country, we will move ahead with a resolve to take the
country forward, and I assure you, Brothers and Sisters, as well as my
colleagues in the Government, that if you work for 12 hours, I will do
so for 13 hours. If you work for 14 hours, I will do for 15 hours. Why?
Because I'm amidst you not as a Prime Minister, but as the first
servant. I have formed the government not as a ruler, but as a servant.<br /> <br />
Brothers and sisters, I assure that this country has a destiny. It is
destined to work for the welfare of the world, it was said by Vivekanand
ji. India is born; this Hindustan is born in order to achieve this
destiny. One hundred and twenty-five crore countrymen have to move
forward wholeheartedly for the welfare of the nation.<br /> <br /> Once
again I feel proud of the devotion, the sacrifices of the security
forces of the country, para-military forces of the country, all the
security forces of the country to protect Mother India. I say to the
countrymen, 'Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty'.<br /> <br /> The
army is vigilant, we should also be vigilant and the country scales new
heights, we have to move forward with this resolution. Speak loudly with
me with full force - Bharat Mata ki jai, Bharat Mata ki jai, Bharat
Mata ki jai. Jai Hind, Jai Hind, Jai Hind. Vande Mataram, Vande Mataram,
Vande Mataram!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, the ideal woman in India is the mother, the mother first, and the
mother last. The word woman calls up to the mind of the Hindu,
motherhood; and God is called Mother.<br /><br /> In<span class="text_exposed_show">
the West, the woman is wife. The idea of womanhood is concentrated
there -- as the wife. To the ordinary man in India, the whole force of
womanhood is concentrated in motherhood. In the Western home, the wife
rules. In an Indian home, the mother rules. If a mother comes into a
Western home, she has to be subordinate to the wife; to the wife belongs
the home. A mother always lives in our homes: the wife must be
subordinate to her. See all the difference of ideas.</span><br /><span class="text_exposed_show"> </span><br /><span class="text_exposed_show"> Now, I
only suggest comparisons; I would state facts so that we may compare the
two sides. Make this comparison. If you ask, "What is an Indian woman
as wife?", the Indian asks, "Where is the American woman as mother? What
is she, the all - glorious, who gave me this body? What is she who kept
me in her body for nine months? Where is she who would give me twenty
times her life, if I had need? Where is she whose love never dies,
however wicked, however vile I am? Where is she, in comparison with her,
who goes to the divorce court the moment I treat her a little badly? O
American woman ! where is she?" I will not find her in your country. I
have not found the son who thinks mother is first. When we die, even
then, we do not want our wives and our children to take her place. Our
mother!-- we want to die with our head on her lap once more, if we die
before her. Where is she? Is woman a name to be coupled with the
physical body only? Ay! the Hindu mind fears all those ideals which say
that the flesh must cling unto the flesh. No, no! Woman! thou shalt not
be coupled with anything connected with the flesh. The name has been
called holy once and for ever, for what name is there which no lust can
ever approach, no carnality ever come near, than the one word mother?
That is the ideal in India. (Excerpts from a talk 'WOMEN OF INDIA'</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Born to an aristocratic
Bengali family of Calcutta, Swami Vivekananda is considered as the Youth Icon
of India. Known as Narendranath Datta in his pre-monastic life, he was the son
of Vishwanath Datta, a successful attorney with interests in a wide range of
subjects, and his mother, Bhuvaneshwari Devi, was gifted with deep devotion,
strong character and other qualities. A talented boy, Narendra excelled in the
fields of gymnastics and music, besides his regular studies. He acquired a vast
knowledge of different subjects, especially Western philosophy and history by
the time he graduated from Calcutta University. He was an important person to
introduce the Indian philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world and
is credited with raising interfaith awareness, bringing Hinduism to the status
of a major religion of the world during the late 19th century. He was a major
power for revival of Hinduism in India, and contributed to the concept of
nationalism in the country. He was influenced by his guru, Ramakrishna, from
whom he learnt that all living beings were an embodiment of the divine self;
therefore, service to God could be rendered by service to mankind and later he
established the Ramakrishna Math and the Ramakrishna Mission.<br />

<span lang="EN-US">Swami
Vivekananda believed that <a href="http://www.indianyouth.net/" target="_blank">youth</a> is the most precious time of life and under-utilizing the potential they possess is loss for the
individuals as well as for the nation. He stated that highest value of youth
period is immeasurable and incommunicable as it is the most valuable phase of
life and the way it is utilize will decide the personality of coming years that
lie ahead. He also stated that the happiness, honor, success and good name, all
is dependent on way in which one lives during his youthful days. The youthful
days are of utmost interest and he provides an anecdote in which he states that
youthful days are just like the wet clay in the hands of potter and the potter
with his skills moulds it. Similarly, the youth as well needs to be molded to
make them better human beings. Hence, he rightly stated that “youth is the
future of our country”. </span><br />

<br />
Swamiji also
stated that in a huge country like India, where numerous cultures coincides,
conceived of life in four stages, namely preliminary stage, development stage,
flowering or blossoming stage and the culminating fruitful stage. Youthful
stage is that stage of preliminary preparations for right and successful
living. Herein is its supreme value and
great importance. He explained the whole concept, making the people of the
country understand the importance of Youth and believe in their capability to
conquer the world. He became an inspiration for the young generation of the
country and his birthday has been declared as “National Youth Day” by the
Indian Government. Swami Vivekananda has always been considered as a youth icon
and his contribution towards bringing India into the limelight is worth
mentioning.<br />

<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li>History itself bears testimony to the fact. All the soul-elevating ideas and the different branches of knowledge that exist in the world are found on proper investigation to have their roots in India. </li>
<li> From time immemorial India has been the mine of precious ideas to human society; giving birth to high ideas herself, she has freely distributed them broadcast over the whole world. </li>
<li> Proudly proclaim at the top of thy voice: "The Indian is my brother, the Indian is my life, India's gods and goddesses are my God. India's society is the cradle of my infancy, the pleasure-garden of my youth, the sacred heaven, the Varanasi of my old age." </li>
<li> Say, brother: "The soil of India is my highest heaven, the good of India is my good," and repeat and pray day and night, "O Thou Lord of Gauri, O Thou Mother of the Universe, vouch safe manliness unto me! O Thou Mother of Strength, take away my weakness…!" </li>
<li> To make a great future India, the whole secret lies in organization, accumulation of power, co-ordination of wills.” </li>
<li>Have that faith, each one of you, in yourself – that eternal power is lodged in every soul - and you will revive the whole of India. Ay, we will then go to </li>
<li> Every country under the sun, and our ideas will before long be a component of the many forces that are working to make up every nation in the world </li>
<li> With every man, there is an idea; the external man is only the outward manifestation, the mere language of this idea within. Likewise, every nation has a corresponding national idea. This idea is working for the world and is necessary for its preservation </li>
<li> It is when the national body is weak that all sorts of disease germs, in the political state of the race or in its social state, in its educational or intellectual state, crowd into the system and produce disease. To remedy it, therefore, we must go to the root of this disease and cleanse the blood of all impurities.” </li>
<li> If there is any land on this earth that can lay claim to be the blessed Punya Bhumi, to be the land to which all souls on this earth must come to account for Karma, the land to which every soul that is wending its way Godward must come to attain its last home, the land where humanity has attained its highest towards gentleness, towards generosity, towards purity, towards calmness, above all, the land of introspection and of spirituality - it is India. </li>
<li> Crossing over mountains, rivers, arid oceans, setting at naught, as it were, the obstacles of the distance of space and time, the blood of Indian thought has flowed, and is still flowing into the veins of other nations of the globe, whether in a distinct or in some subtle unknown way. Perhaps to us belongs the major portion of the universal ancient inheritance. </li>
<li> Do you love your country? Then come, let us struggle for higher and better things; look not back, no, not even if you see the dearest and nearest cry. Look not back, but forward! </li>
<li> India must conquer the World and nothing less than that is my ideal. </li>
<li> To make a great future India, the whole secret lies in organization, accumulation of power, co-ordination of wills. </li>
<li> Renunciation, that is the flag, the banner of India, floating over the world, the one undying thought which India sends again and again as a warning to dying races, as a warning to all tyranny, as a warning to wickedness in the world. </li>
<li> Each nation must give in order to live. When you give life, you will have life; when you receive, you must pay for it by giving to all others. </li>
<li> Renunciation conquered India in days of yore; it has still to conquer India. Still it stands as the greatest and highest of Indian ideals - this renunciation. </li>
<li> Make way for the life-current of the nation. Take away the blocks that bar the way to the progress of this mighty river, cleanse its path, dear the channel, and out it will rush by its own natural impulse, and the nation will go on careering and progressing </li>
<li> With all my love for India, and with all my patriotism and veneration for the ancients, I cannot but think that we have to learn many things from other nations. We must be always ready to sit at the feet of all, for, mark you, everyone can teach us great lessons. At the same time we must not forget that we have also to teach a great lesson to the world. </li>
<li> When the real history of India will be unearthed, it will be proved that, as in matters of religion, so in fine arts, India is the primal Guru of the whole world. </li>
<li> The Indian nation cannot be killed. Deathless it stands, and it will stand so long as that spirit shall remain as the background, so long as her people do not give up their spirituality.” </li>
<li> Happy is the nation which can rise to the necessity of but few law books, and needs no longer to bother its head about this or that institution. Good men rise beyond all laws, and will help their fellows to rise under whatever conditions they live. The salvation of India, therefore, depends on the strength of the individual, and the realisation by each man of the divinity within. </li>
<li> One thing that is at the root of all evils in India is the condition of the poor. The poor in the West are devils; compared to them ours are angels, and it is therefore so much the easier to raise our poor. The only service to be done for our lower classes is to give them education, to develop their lost individuality. </li>
<li> What India wants is a new electric fire to stir up a fresh vigour in the national veins. Be brave, be brave, man dies but once! </li>
<li> Shall India die? Then from the world all spirituality will be extinct; all moral perfection will be extinct...such a thing can never be. </li>
<li> What the nation wants is pluck and scientific genius. We want great spirit, tremendous energy, and boundless enthusiasm. </li>
<li> A nation is advanced in proportion as education & intelligence spread among the masses. The chief cause of India's ruin has been the monopolising of the whole education & intelligence of the land, by dint of pride & royal authority, among a handful of men. If we are to rise again, we shall have to do it in the same way, i.e. by spreading education among the masses. </li>
<li> Being of one mind is the secret of society. Our solution is renunciation, giving up, fearlessness, and love, these are the fittest to survive. </li>
<li> If there is any land on this earth that can lay claim to be the blessed Punya Bhumi, to be the land to which all souls on this earth must come to account for Karma, the land to which every soul that is wending its way Godward must come to attain its last home, the land where humanity has attained its highest towards gentleness, towards generosity, towards purity, towards calmness, above all, the land of introspection and of spirituality — it is India. </li>
<li> The little toleration that is in the world, the little sympathy that is yet in the world for religious thought, is practically here in the land of the Aryan, and nowhere else. It is here that Indians build temples for Mohammedans and Christians; nowhere else…The one great lesson, therefore, that the world wants most, that the world has yet to learn from India, is the idea not only of toleration, but of sympathy. </li>
<li> One vision I can see clear as life before me that the ancient Mother has awakened once more, sitting on her throne- rejuvenated, more glorious than ever. Proclaim her to the entire world with the voice of peace and benediction </li>
<li> The national ideals of India are RENUNCIATION AND SERVICE. Intensify her in these channels, and the rest will take care of itself. </li>
<li> The uplift of the women, the awakening of the masses must come first, and then only can any real good come about for the country, for India. </li>

<li>It is good and very grand to conquer external nature, but grander still to conquer our internal nature. It is grand and good to know the laws that govern the stars and planets; it is infinitely grander and better to know the laws that govern the passions, the feelings, the will of mankind.” (Human Nature and feelings) </li>
<li>Nothing else is necessary but these — love, sincerity, and patience. What is life but growth, i.e. expansion; i.e. love? It is life to do good, it is death not to do good to others.(On Relationships) </li>
<li>Strength is the one thing needful. Strength is the medicine for the world's disease. Strength is the medicine which the poor must have when tyrannized over by the rich. Strength is the medicine which the ignorant must have when oppressed by the learned.” (On Strength) </li>
<li> Persons are but the embodiments, the illustrations of the principles. If the principles are there, the persons will come by the thousands and millions. If the principle is safe, persons like Buddha will be born by the hundreds and thousands.”(On Principles) </li>
<li> It is culture that withstands shocks, not a simple mass of knowledge. You can put a mass of knowledge into the world, but that will not do it much good. There must come culture into the blood.” (On Cullture) </li>
<li> Let men have light, let them be pure & spiritually strong & educated, then alone will misery cease in the world, not before. We may convert every house in the country into a charity asylum; we may fill the land with hospitals, but the misery of man will still continue to exist until man's character changes.”(On Character) </li>
<li> Every selfish action retards our reaching the goal, and every unselfish action takes us towards the goal; that is why the only definition that can be given of morality is this—That which is selfish is immoral, and that which is unselfish is moral.” (On Selfish acts) </li>
<li>I want the intensity of the fanatic plus the extensity of the materialist. Deep as the ocean, broad as the infinite skies, that is the sort of heart we want.” </li>
<li> A thing dimly perceived we call by one name; the same thing when fully perceived we call by another. The higher the moral nature, the higher the perception and the stronger the will.” (On Moral Nature) </li>
<li> Do not want this world, because what you desire you get. Seek the Lord and the Lord only. The more power there is, the more bondage, the more fear. How much more afraid and miserable are we than the ant! Get out of it all and come to the Lord. Seek the science of the maker and not that of the made.” (On Power) </li>
<li> Art can be compared to a lily which springs from the ground, takes its nourishment from the ground, is in touch with the ground, and yet is quite high above it. Art is — representing the beautiful. There must be Art in everything.” (On Art) </li>
<li> Unselfishness is more paying, only people have not the patience to practice it. </li>
<li> In eating, dressing or lying, in singing or playing, in enjoyment or disease, always manifest the highest moral courage” </li>
<li> Build up your character, and manifest your real nature, the Effulgent, the Resplendent, the Ever-Pure, and call it up in everyone that you see. </li>

<li>Go, all of you, wherever there is an outbreak of plague or famine, or wherever the people are in distress, and mitigate their sufferings…Preach this ideal from door to door, and you will yourselves be benefited by it at the same time that you are doing good to your country. On you lie the future hopes of our country. </li>
<li>Freedom can never be reached by the weak. Throw away all weakness. Tell your body that it is strong, tell your mind that it is strong, and have unbounded faith and hope in yourself. </li>
<li> My hope of the future lies in the youths of character, intelligent, renouncing all for the service of others, and obedient – good to themselves and the country at large </li>
<li> Act on the educated young men, bring them together, and organize them. Great things can be done by great sacrifices only. No selfishness, no name, no fame, yours or mine, nor my Master's even! Work, work the idea, the plan, my boys, my brave, noble, good souls - to the wheel, to the wheel put your shoulders! </li>
<li> Please everybody without becoming a hypocrite and without being a coward. Hold on to your own ideas with strength and purity, and whatever obstructions may now be in your way, the world is bound to listen to you in the long run. </li>
<li> Talk to yourself once in a day…Otherwise you may miss meeting an EXCELLENT person in this World" </li>
<li> It is very easy to point out the defects of institutions, all being more or less imperfect, but he is the real benefactor of humanity who helps the individual to overcome his imperfections under whatever institutions he may live. </li>
<li> Onward! Upon ages of struggle a character is built. Be not discouraged. One word of truth can never be lost; for ages it may be hidden under rubbish, but it will show itself sooner or later. Truth is indestructible, virtue is indestructible, purity is indestructible. </li>
<li> Nothing will avail in our country without setting a glowing and living example before the people. What we want are some young men who will renounce everything and sacrifice their lives for their country's sake. We should first form their lives and then some real work can be expected. </li>
<li> Neither money pays, nor name pays, nor fame, nor learning; it is CHARACTER that cleave through adamantine walls of difference.” </li>
<li> I stand for truth. Truth will never ally itself with falsehood. Even if all the world should be against me, Truth must prevail in the end. </li>
<li> Learn everything that is good from others, but bring it in, and in your own way absorb it; do not become others. Do not be dragged away out of this Indian life; do not for a moment think that it would be better for India if all the Indians dressed, ate, and behaved like another race.” </li>
<li> We have to bear in mind that we are all debtors to the world & the world does not owe us anything. It is a great privilege for all of us to be allowed to do anything for the world. In helping the world we really help ourselves.” </li>
<li> Let your preparations be wise, correct and of such kind that will lead to your true welfare, supreme good and lasting satisfaction and happiness. This must engage your active, enthusiastic attention throughout the period of your youth life. </li>
<li> Supreme value of youth period is incalculable and indescribable. Youth life is the most precious life. Youth is the best time. The way in which you utilize this period will decide the nature of coming years that lie ahead of you. </li>
<li> Practice virtue, persevere in virtue. Become established in virtue. Shine as an embodiment of noblest virtue and heroic adherence to goodness. Youth is meant for this grand process. Youth life is the active development and fulfillment of these processes.” </li>
<li> Brave, bold people, these are what we want. What we want is vigor in the blood, strength in the nerves, iron muscles and nerves of steel, not softening namby-pamby ideas. Avoid all these. Avoid all mystery </li>
<li> Youth means to place your firm confidence in yourself & exercise your hopeful determination and resolution and willing good intentions in this beautiful task of self-culture. This will truly bring supreme satisfaction and fulfillment not only to you, but also to all concerned.” </li>
<li> Practice virtue, persevere in virtue. Become established in virtue. Shine as an embodiment of noblest virtue and heroic adherence to goodness. Youth is meant for this grand process. Youth life is the active development and fulfillment of these processes. </li>
<li> Supreme value of youth period is incalculable and indescribable. Youth life is the most precious life. Youth is the best time. The way in which you utilize this period will decide the nature of coming years that lie ahead of you. </li>
<li> True progress is slow but sure. Work among those young men who can devote heart and soul to this one duty — the duty of raising the masses of India. Awake them, unite them, and inspire them with this spirit of renunciation; it depends wholly on the young people of India. </li>
<li> Your country requires heroes; be heroes; your duty is to go on working, and then everything will follow of itself.” </li>
<li> We must be always ready to sit at the feet of all, for, mark you, every one can teach us great lessons…At the same time we must not forget that we have also to teach a great lesson to the world.” </li>
<li> Awake, awake, great ones! The world is burning with misery. Can you sleep? Let us call and call, till the god within answers to the call. What more is in life? What greater work? </li>
<li> Ours not to reason why, ours but to do and die.’ Be of good cheer and believe that we are selected by the Lord to do great things, and we will do them. </li>
<li> My boy, when death is inevitable, is it not better to die like heroes than as stocks and stones? And what is the use of living a day or two more in this transitory world? It is better to wear out than to rust out — specially for the sake of doing the least good to others </li>
<li> This is the time to decide your future - while you possess the energy of youth, not when you are worn out and jaded, but in the freshness and vigour of youth. Work – this is the time; for the freshest, the untouched, and unsmelled flowers alone are to be laid at the feet of the Lord” </li>
<li> When we let loose our feelings, we waste so much energy, shatter our nerves, disturb our minds, and accomplish very little work. The energy which ought to have gone out as work is spent as mere feeling, which counts for nothing. It is only when the mind is very calm and collected that the whole of its energy is spent in doing good work.” </li>
<li> Go, all of you, wherever there is an outbreak of plague or famine, or wherever the people are in distress, and mitigate their sufferings…Preach this ideal from door to door, and you will yourselves be benefited by it at the same time that you are doing good to your country. On you lie the future hopes of our country. </li>
<li> We have not done badly in the past, certainly not. Our society is not bad but good, only I want it to be better still. Not from error to truth, nor from bad to good, but from truth to higher truth, from good to better, best. I tell my countrymen that so far they have done well — now is the time to do better. </li>
<li>Be not afraid, my children. Look not up in that attitude of fear towards that infinite starry vault as if it would crush you. Wait! In a few hours more, the whole of it will be under your feet. Wait, money does not pay, nor name; fame does not pay, nor learning. It is love that pays; it is character that cleaves its way through adamantine walls of difficulties. </li>
<li> Be strong, my young friends; that is my advice to you. You will be nearer to Heaven through football than through the study of the Gita. These are bold words; but I have to say them, for I love you…You will understand the Gita better with your biceps, your muscles, a little stronger. You will understand the mighty genius and the mighty strength of Krishna better with a little of strong blood in you. </li>
<li> A few heart-whole, sincere, and energetic men and women can do more in a year than a mob in a century. </li>
<li> The infinite future is before you, and you must always remember that each word, thought, and deed, lays up a store for you and that as the bad thoughts and bad works are ready to spring upon you like tigers, so also there is the inspiring hope that the good thoughts and good deeds are ready with the power of a hundred thousand angels to defend you always and forever. </li>
<li> The earth is enjoyed by heroes—this is the unfailing truth. Be a hero. Always say, “I have no fear. </li>
<li> My faith is in the younger generation, the modern generation, out of them will come my workers! </li>

<ol>
<li>Experience is the only teacher we have. We may talk and reason all our lives, but we shall not understand a word of truth until we experience it ourselves. </li>
<li>The goal of mankind is knowledge . . . What man "learns" is really what he discovers by taking the cover off his own soul, which is a mine of infinite knowledge. </li>
<li>Stand on your own feet, and assimilate what you can; learn from every nation, take what is of use to you. </li>
<li>The education which does not help the common mass of people to equip themselves for the struggle for life, which does not bring out strength of character, a spirit of philanthropy, and the courage of a lion — is it worth the name? Real education is that which enables one to stand on one's own legs. </li>
<li>If you have knowledge and see a man weak, do not condemn him. Go to his level and help him if you can. He must grow.” </li>
<li>Experience is a far more glorious teacher than any amount of speculation, or any amount of books written by globe-trotters and hasty observers. </li>
<li>Great works are to be done, wonderful powers have to be worked out, we have to teach other nations many things… This is the motherland of philosophy, of spirituality, and of ethics, of sweetness, gentleness, and love. These still exist, and my experience of the world leads me to stand on firm ground and make the bold statement that India is still the first & foremost of all the nations of the world in these respects.” </li>
<li>•“You are the greatest book that ever was or ever will be, the infinite depository of all that is. Until the inner teacher opens, all outside teaching is in vain.” </li>
<li>Do you feel for others? If you do, you are growing in oneness. If you do not feel for others, you may be the most intellectual giant ever born, but you will be nothing; you are but dry intellect, and you will remain so. </li>
<li>Work purifies the heart and so leads to Vidyâ (wisdom)…Virtuous deeds take off the veil from knowledge, and knowledge alone can make us see God.” </li>
<li>Knowledge is power, and getting one you get the other. By knowledge you can even banish the material world” </li>
<li>Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man. Religion is the manifestation of the Divinity already in man. Therefore the only duty of the teacher in both cases is to remove all obstructions from the way. Hands off! as I always say, and everything will be right. That is, our duty is to clear the way. The Lord does the rest.” </li>
<li>Two gifts are especially appreciated, the gift of learning and the gift of life. But the gift of learning takes precedence. One may save a man's life, and that is excellent; one may impart to another knowledge, and that is better.” </li>
<li>Education is not the amount of information that is put into your brain and runs riot there, undigested, all your life.” </li>
<li>We need technical education and all else which may develop industries, so that men, instead of seeking for service, may earn enough to provide for themselves, and save something against a rainy day.” </li>
<li>Knowledge is nothing but finding unity in the midst of diversity.” </li>
<li>The gift of knowledge is a far higher gift than that of food and clothes; it is even higher than giving life to a man, because the real life of man consists of knowledge” </li>
<li>Existence without knowledge and love cannot be; knowledge without love and love without knowledge cannot be. What we want is the harmony of Existence, Knowledge, and Bliss Infinite. For that is our goal. We want harmony, not one-sided development.” </li>
<li>We want the education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one’s own feet.” </li>
<li>Knowledge can only be got in one way, the way of experience; there is no other way to know.” </li>
<li>You know but little of that which is within you. For behind you is the ocean of infinite power and blessedness. </li>
<li>The aim of education is to manifest in our lives the perfection, which is the very nature of our inner self </li>

<li style="text-align: justify;">God allows you to work. He allows you to exercise your muscles in this great gymnasium, not in order to help Him but that you may help yourself. Do you think even an ant will die or want of your help? Most arrant blasphemy </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Call up the divinity within you, which will enable you to bear hunger and thirst, heat and cold. Sitting in luxurious homes, surrounded with all the comforts of life, and doling out a little amateur religion may be good for other lands, but India has a truer instinct. It intuitively detects the mask. You must give up. Be great. No great work can be done without sacrifice…….” </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Have vairagya. Your ancestors gave up the world for doing great things. At the present times there are men who give up the world to help their own salvation. Throw away everything, even your own salvation, and go and help others. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">With the conviction firmly rooted in your heart that you are the servants of the Lord, His children, helpers in the fulfillment of His purpose, enter the arena of work. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Set yourselves to work - to work! Do not tarry…Do not sit idle, thinking that everything will be done in time, later. Mind - nothing will be done that way. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Now is wanted intense Karma-Yoga with unbounded courage and indomitable strength in the heart. Then only will the people of the country be roused. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">All work is simply to bring out the power of the mind which is already there, to wake up the soul. The power is inside every man, so is knowing; the different works are like blows to bring them out, to cause these giants to wake up. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Perfection does not come from belief or faith. Talk does not count for anything. Parrots can do that. Perfection comes through selfless work. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The wind of divine grace is always blowing. You just need to spread your sail. Whenever you do anything, do it with your whole heart concentrated on it. Think day and night, “I am of the essence of that Supreme Being-Consciousness-Bliss. What fear and anxiety have I?” </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Always first learn to be a servant, and then you will be fit to be a master. Avoid jealousy, and you will do great works that are yet to be done.” (Can be in success as well) </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The men of mighty will, the world has produced have all been tremendous workers — gigantic souls, with wills powerful enough to overturn worlds, wills they got by persistent work, through ages, and ages. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Machines or instruments, cities, ships, or men-of-war, all these are simply the manifestation of the will of man; and this will is caused by character, and character is manufactured by Karma. As is Karma, so is the manifestation of the will. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Let us calmly go to work, instead of dissipating our energy in unnecessary fretting and fuming. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Go from village to village; do good to humanity and to the world at large. Go to hell yourself to buy salvation for others. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Now is wanted intense Karma-Yoga with unbounded courage and indomitable strength in the heart. Then only will the people of the country be roused. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Give up jealousy and conceit. Learn to work unitedly for others. That is the great need of our country. Have patience and be faithful unto death. Do not fight among yourselves. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Work and worship are necessary to take away the veil, to lift off the bondage and illusion.” </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Cultivate the virtue of obedience, but you must not sacrifice your own faith…Give up jealousy and conceit. Learn to work unitedly for others. This is the great need of our country. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">We must be merciful towards those that are in misery; and to the wicked we must be indifferent" </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">In this world always take the position of the giver. Give everything and look for no returns. Give love, give help, give service, give any little thing you can, but keep out barter. Make no conditions and none will be imposed. Let us give out of our own bounty, just as God gives to us.” </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Have faith in yourselves, great convictions are the mother of great deeds" </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Who will give the world light? Sacrifice in the past has been the law, it will be, alas, for ages to come. The earth's bravest and best will have to sacrifice themselves for the good of many, for the welfare of all.” </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Let us work on, doing as we go whatever happens to be our duty, and being ever ready to put our shoulders to the wheel. Then surely shall we see the Light! </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Let there be action without reaction; action is pleasant, all misery is reaction…The happiest moments we ever know are when we entirely forget ourselves. Work of your own free will, not from duty”</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">To attain liberation through work, join yourself to work but without desire, looking for no result. Such work leads to knowledge, which in turn brings emancipation. To give up work before you know, leads to misery.” </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Even thinking of the least good of others gradually instills into the heart, the strength of a lion. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">I do not care of liberation…’doing good to others (silently) like the spring’ this is my religion.” </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Set yourselves to work - to work! Do not tarry - the time of death is approaching day by day! Do not sit idle, thinking that everything will be done in time, later. Mind - nothing will be done that way.” </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">What Karma-Yoga means; even at the point of death to help anyone, without asking questions. Never vaunt of your gifts to the poor or expect their gratitude, but rather be grateful to them for giving you the occasion of practicing charity to them.” </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Let us perfect the means; the end will take care of itself. For the world can be good and pure, only if our lives are good and pure. It is an effect, and we are the means. Therefore, let us purify ourselves. Let us make ourselves perfect.” </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Ask nothing; want nothing in return. Give what you have to give; it will come back to you — but do not think of that now, it will come back multiplied a thousand fold — but the attention must not be on that. Yet have the power to give: give, and there it ends.” </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Desire to live a hundred years, have all earthly desires, if you wish, only deify them, convert them into heaven. Have the desire to live a long life of helpfulness, of blissfulness and activity on this earth. Thus working, you will find the way out.” </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">When you help a poor man, do not feel the least pride. That is worship for you, and not the cause of pride. Is not the whole universe you? Where is there any one that is not you? You are the Soul of this universe. You are the sun, moon, and stars, it is you that are shining everywhere.” </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">All work is simply to bring out the power of the mind which is already there, to wake up the soul. The power is inside every man, so is knowing; the different works are like blows to bring them out, to cause these giants to wake up. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Work on with the intrepidity of a lion but at the same time with the tenderness of a flower. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Wait with patience and love and strength. If helpers are not ready now, they will come in time. Why should we be in a hurry? The real working force of all great work is in its almost unperceived beginnings. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Every duty is holy, and devotion to duty is the highest form of worship of God.” </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The ideal of work is to work for work’s sake. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Blessed are they whose bodies get destroyed in the service of others</li>
</ol>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sisters and Brothers of America,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
It fills my heart with joy unspeakable to rise in response to the warm and cordial welcome which you have given us. I thank you in the name of the most ancient order of monks in the world; I thank you in the name of the mother of religions; and I thank you in the name of millions and millions of Hindu people of all classes and sects.<br />
<br />

My thanks, also, to some of the speakers on this platform who, referring to the delegates from the Orient, have told you that these men from far-off nations may well claim the honour of bearing to different lands the idea of toleration. I am proud to belong to a religion which has taught the world both tolerance and universal acceptance. We believe not only in universal toleration, but we accept all religions as true. I am proud to belong to a nation which has sheltered the persecuted and the refugees of all religions and all nations of the earth. I am proud to tell you that we have gathered in our bosom the purest remnant of the Israelites, who came to Southern India and took refuge with us in the very year in which their holy temple was shattered to pieces by Roman tyranny. I am proud to belong to the religion which has sheltered and is still fostering the remnant of the grand Zoroastriannation. I will quote to you, brethren, a few lines from a hymn which I remember to have repeated from my earliest boyhood, which is every day repeated by millions of human beings: "As the different streams having their sources in different places all mingle their water in the sea, so, O Lord, the different paths which men take through different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to Thee."<br />
<br />
The present convention, which is one of the most august assemblies ever held, is in itself a vindication, a declaration to the world of the wonderful doctrine preached in the Gita: "Whosoever comes to Me, through whatsoever form, I reach him; all men are struggling through paths which in the end lead to me." Sectarianism, bigotry, and its horrible descendant, fanaticism, have long possessed this beautiful earth. They have filled the earth with violence, drenched it often and often with human blood, destroyed civilisation and sent whole nations to despair. Had it not been for these horrible demons, human society would be far more advanced than it is now. But their time is come; and I fervently hope that the bell that tolled this morning in honour of this convention may be the death - knell of all fanaticism, of all persecutions with the sword or with the pen, and of all uncharitable feelings between persons wending their way to the same goal. </div>
