In English
The honour of a nation depends upon the morality of that nation. A nation without morality will be doomed. Mere listening to and knowing about the nature of Indian culture will not be rewarding. It has to be reflected in one’s conduct. The prestige of an individual depends upon the purity of the individual. When the individual reforms himself and undergoes the process of , or purification, then only will he be able to truly recognise the greatness of our culture. Individuals make the society. A village depends upon the condition of the society, and the state depends upon several such villages. A country or a nation is an assembly of such states. The welfare of the nation thus depends ultimately upon the quality and nature of the individual. Therefore, reforming the individual is of primary importance. Reforming the individual has two aspects: first, weeding out evil thoughts and bad habits within him, and second, cultivation of good habits. Students must put into practice these two things: doing away with evil habits and cultivating good habits in their place.
