Passage 16

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

Only when we fill them so can we use it when it is needed in our life. Using it, we can meet all our needs. We can attain Ānanda. We can face hardship. We can achieve with courage. Only when we develop a life of this kind in the days ahead can the land of Bhārata rise to a very high state. More than all other countries, the land of Bhārata is very sacred. All countries are sacred. But this is the land of sacrifice, the land of yoga, the land of karma. Today, unfortunately, we follow others and they are trying to turn this too into a land of enjoyment. We do not need enjoyment. Sacrifice alone is needed; karma alone is needed. Karma alone is the authority. Karmānubandhini manuṣyaloke. This whole world of men is bound by karma. So we must be those who live by karma. We must be heroes of karma. We must be those who give up the fruit of karma. Hoping that in the days ahead you will set the country an ideal in a fitting way, and blessing you, I bring my discourse to a close.
