In plain words
Young men, embodiments of Prema!
The fruit that tapas does not win, the fruit that pilgrimage does not bring, the fruit that study of the śāstras, japa and dhyāna do not win, comes to us through service. All the acts above carry some self-interest or other. Service takes on a form free of Ahaṅkāra, free of self-interest. Youth is like the morning star. Youth is a boon bestowed by grace. We must put such sacred, such divine youth to good use. Every young man must make the effort it takes to live with discipline and purity of citta.
First of all, the young must develop a feeling for the nation. Our home itself is the abode of wholeness, unity and brotherhood. When this gentleness, this equality, this unity are lost in our very home, the abode of such wholeness, unity and brotherhood, where then will we find them in the country? The brotherhood that is not in the home is not to be had in the country. The unity that is not in the home will not be found in the country. The people of Bhārata won freedom, but they are unable to achieve oneness. Because there has been no unity since ancient times, Bhārata has been torn apart and has met hardships of many kinds. The young must conduct themselves so that at the very name of Bhārata, at the name of Bhārata's culture, respect and faith arise in the people. For such respect and faith three things are most necessary, rooted in the hearts of the people of Bhārata since ancient times: love of country, tyāga, and the spiritual outlook. Unfortunately, the people of today have been losing the feeling for the nation. In place of tyāga, they have been longing for enjoyment. Against the spiritual outlook, they have been fostering atheism. That is why today we have had to see these misfortunes in Bhārata, never seen or heard of before. The day the people of Bhārata lost their self-confidence, on that very day danger began for Bhārata. Self-confidence is most necessary. A life without such confidence meets with misfortune.
There are some reasons why unrest flares up among the young in the world today. The first reason for this is politics. The second is that we are unable to bring out the divine feelings within us. The third is these secret films. The fourth is storybooks that are meaningless and disgusting. Through these very things the young lose their way, fall into wrong paths of many kinds, and waste their sacred body and their life. Many qualities lie hidden within human nature. We are unable to know the good qualities that lie unknown within ourselves. For this, parents at home and teachers in the institutions of learning must give the right teaching and bring out our powers that lie hidden and unseen. Simply because we cannot make this effort, we are unable to receive this priceless wealth that lies within the young.
The priceless, valuable wealth in the young is virtue itself. Only when he has qualities of this kind can man become God. the qualities numbering six. character, non-violence, pity, control of senses, control of mind, fame. This is the reason Rāma became God. First, character. Second, Ahiṃsā. Third, compassion. Fourth, prosperity. Fifth, control of the senses. Sixth, fame. Through these six alone, Rāma, who had taken human form, became God. Every young man born in Bhārata too must make the effort it takes to live regarding these six qualities as the six cakras, as the six virtues, as the six darśanas. Discipline and purity of citta have gone very far from the young of today. So discipline is very necessary in man. The young man of today goes to the towns for his studies, enters the institutions of learning, and through them takes part in student unions, takes part in strikes, takes part in politics, and step by step he ruins his valuable life. Losing both, learning on this side and divinity on that, he sells his golden life to sense desires and reduces it to ash. He sells this ruby of a human life for the sooty charcoal of lust and anger, and sets out to live. Selling it away to attachment and hatred, they make their life colourless. Human life is very precious. It is worth living. Every man must first of all recognise its value. Going into the town, going into paths that have nothing to do with him, he throws his parents into fear and alarm. Money is spent. Time is wasted. He is destroying even the divine power that is in man. Today we must make the effort it takes to turn from this kind of life onto a divine, noble and sacred path. The young must always take part in some exemplary work or other. A man must not soil his mind with idle words, with impure deeds, with evil thoughts that come of bad company alone.
