Passage 2

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

But from this it becomes quite clear how much faith there is in these religions, in the matter of forgetting what the religions say and believing what they do not say. So only when we believe solely what any religion has taught as śāstras that stand as commands, and spread it in the form of practice, will that be a true faith; but what we call faith in religion, faith in the śāstras, faith in Dharma we speak of only in words, while in our conduct our ways run utterly against it, and so it becomes clear from this that the faith in us is not right in the least.

Many in charge of education, and learned people too, are fools who cannot understand what religion means, what the culture of Bhārata means, what spirituality means, and they set about trying to spoil even the heads of little children: today this is seen as a chief path. All they have seems to be merely book knowledge, and it is plain that in the heart they have no acquaintance with it at all. Because such people are in charge of education, our Bhārata is sinking still further to the very bottom. But the hope is strong in Me that today students alone must show the way that opens the eyes even of such people in charge of education.

The culture of Bhārata restored through the young

My whole hope rests on the young alone. Because the young of today experience My hopes well, understand them and put them into their practice, there is a chance for Bhārata to improve greatly. So, having resolved on just this effort, to offer such a chance and through them to restore once more the culture of Bhārata, enjoined by the Vedas from time without beginning, I hope too that in the summer classes you will take the culture of Bhārata into your hearts, you who are boys, and through that take the vow for the dharmic effort of its restoration.
