Passage 1

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

Unity is strength; it is the good of all; however great the task, it can be won. Do not little ants band together, seize a serpent and kill it, here in this world?

The honour of a nation rests on morality; a nation without morality is ruined; a nation with morality is a true nation indeed: listen, heroic son of Bhārata!

Embodiments of the divine Ātma! Village officers!

If the individual is to progress, if the village is to move forward, if the country is to be green with crops, fellow-feeling and unity are most essential.

Union protects man; disunion brings much unrest

Union protects man. Disunion brings much unrest. There is no strength in this world greater than unity: ‘Saṅghebalau kaliyuge’, it has been said. There is no strength greater than the strength of union. When we look back once over the history of Bhārata, the Turks, the Portuguese, the French, the British, all of these occupied Bhārata and, taking no account of its prosperous culture, tried in many ways to change the culture of Bhārata. What was the reason for this? It is not that Bhārata had no men of virtue, no men of strength, no men of learning.
