In English
is the most ancient of all the centres of civilisation that is surviving today with her heritage intact. But, out of a false sense of values, the leaders and the youth of the land are ignoring the traditions of this precious culture, and are adopting the ideas and ideals of the West. Therefore, they identify themselves with the body they spend their energies and skills in catering to its needs and whims, and they believe that the material world is the only field 'for study and subjugation.' The result has been here as everywhere else, as even, in the most advanced Western Countries, fear, anxiety violence, corruption and pollution. Physical comfort, individual advancement, personal progress, these are held to be desirable. However, though each person might declare that he cares for himself only, no one can live in isolation. Persons, sleeping on the same cot are caught having different dreams; each one has an inner life of his own, his own path and speed. But ask him why he is engaged in work, what he is bringing from the shop, why he looks worried. The reply would be that he was engaged in building a house for his family, that he was purchasing clothes for his children, that he was worried about his wife. So he is living, not for himself, but for others whom he is attached to, who are his near and dear ones. Man is under an inescapable obligation to shape his activities and attitudes in consonance with those of others, amidst whom he is placed. He is given parents to revere and obey; brothers and sisters to love and learn with; playmates to mix and move with; society to be changed by and to change. His affection and attachment are attracted by others, and his reactions are determined by others.
