Passage 1

In English

Students! You are the inheritors of Truth and Righteou sness ( and ). Different persons are propagating these two principles in different ways. Truth and Righteousness are eternal. They remain unchanged through all the three categories of time –past, present, and future. It may be asked: What is the need to propagate ideals, which are ever-present and permanent? But the Lord declared in the , "Whenever there is decline of (righteousness) and a resurgence of (unrighteousness) I incarnate Myself. Righteousness is imperishable. It is the practice of righteousness that declines not righteousness itself. It is like the sun being covered for a time by a cloud. The sun is not apparently visible. But it is always there and shines again when the cloud moves away. Truth is the sun. Its effulgence is righteousness. Truth and righteousness are inseparable. They go together. They are inseparable like matter and energy. The Sun of Truth illumines the world with the effulgence of Righteousness. It is the foremost duty of young people today to uphold Truth and Righteousness. Students ask today, “What is our duty?” Most of them feel that it is the job that makes the man (). What then about the unemployed? Are they not men at all?
