In plain words
Today, above all, these three have been … within society: fear of sin, love of God and social morality. Only when these three are developed in society can humanness … grow in full measure.
Because of an ignorance that has no fear of sin, because of that which has no love of God, humanness has sunk away in men; this itself is the upheaval of the peace of the world.
Today, wherever you look in the country, there is unrest. Unrest. Not only unrest but fear. Stay at home and there is fear …; come out into the street and there is fear. Board a bus and there is fear; board a train and there is fear. Get into a car and there is fear. Board a plane and there is fear. When is one ever to live with courage? This demon called fear is tormenting … Bhārata in many ways. When will fearlessness come to us? 'Tyāgenaike amṛtatvamānasu': Vairāgya itself is the right … basis of fearlessness. But today people do not understand what Vairāgya is. They think that leaving wife and children and going to the forest is Vairāgya. This is not Vairāgya. All the karmas we do must be done in a spirit of doing good. We must feel that we do them for the welfare of the country. We must believe that the good of the world alone is the aim of the Bhāratīya…. From ancient times the Bhāratīyas have been giving a spiritual … to many countries. Then as now, 'Lokāssamastā sukhino bhavantu' alone has been the Bhāratīyas' … goal. To guard this holy goal, the kings, ṛṣis and scholars of that time and the chaste … mothers made great sacrifices. Today such sacrifice is seen nowhere. This selfish… is leading to so much cruelty.
It is forty years since we gained independence. Since this independence came, what have we … achieved? Quarrels, turmoil, strikes: such unrest is all we have achieved. This selfishness has grown strong … within these forty years. Embodiments of Prema! We must sacrifice selfishness. We must think, 'Society … nāka individual.' We must believe that my welfare lies within the welfare of society. In human life there are three main things. One is individuality. The second is the family. The third … society. Today whatever man does, he begins with his individuality in view. From … he journeys as far as the family. But no one journeys as far as society. If society itself is not well, where is our welfare? All our welfare rests … on society.
