In plain words
You must serve the country, but as soon as you pass in engineering, in medicine, in some science or other, to set off for Iran, for America, for Germany, Japan or somewhere: this is great treason against the country. You must serve Bhārata, where you were born and grew up and which made you grow. The people of each country must serve that country. To leave the mother who bore you and look on someone else as your mother: is that any right basis at all? Jananī janmabhūmiś ca svargād api garīyasī. We must give a right ideal to our motherland, our mother country. If all these educated children keep going off to foreign lands, what will Bhārata’s condition be? Rather than going there and earning lakhs, earn hundreds here: that is Śānti. That is your morality. That is
money comes and goes morality comes and grows.
You must develop that.
Students! You must develop national qualities. If we have no love for our own country, how will we have love for the body? The body and the country are two: the image and its reflection. We need not go to any country and beg. “Enna Bhārata, tanna Bhārata,” it said. The tradition of Bhārata: what is not in Bhārata is not in any other country either. Love of country alone is not fanaticism. It is the plain truth. Our Bhārata is the land that, from ancient times, developed every branch of learning. But as the elephant does not know its own strength, so have our people of Bhārata become today. Unable to recognise its own strength, it cowers when a little mahout shows it a little goad. In the same way we become slaves to the attraction of foreign lands and lose our own true strength. We do not need this attraction. We do not need mere information of any kind. We ourselves need transformation. We must change our hearts. That is the difference between the spiritual and the worldly. The worldly is only outer sight, out look. The spiritual is inner sight. Paśyatīti paśuḥ. What use is outer sight? It belongs only to the world of nature. It is made of sound, form, taste, smell and the rest. We must develop inner sight. So we must think at all times. Is it right or wrong? For our bondage and our Mokṣa, for liberation, for everything, our own mind alone is the cause.
