In plain words
Not only this, there is great sacredness in its people too.
She who brought her husband back to life when his life had gone, Sāvitrī: was she not a wife of Bhārata? She who quenched a forest fire by the power of her Satya, Candramatī too: was she not of Bhārata? She who leapt into the fire-pit for her chastity as a wife of noble family, Sītā: was she not born of the soil of Bhārata? She who in her wrath burnt the wicked hunter to ashes, Damayantī: was she not a woman of Bhārata? This land surrounded by the seven seas has the chastity of the race of Bhārata as its support; it is the great harvest field for the wealth of feeling; is it not the teacher of all the countries?
So sacred is Bhārata. It is not good that we, born in India, should call ourselves, “We are Bhāratīyas,” and then go on following foreign countries needlessly. Go to foreign countries. Take up jobs. Earn. It is not wrong. But you must never forget your motherland. This is just ‘jananī janmabhūmiś ca svargād api garīyasi’. As soon as man is born, he sees the mother. The mother shows him the father. The father shows him the guru. The guru shows him God. A basis was laid for setting these four in order: mother, father, guru, God. So you who were born in Bhārata must recognise the culture of Bhārata well. In whatever country one is born, one must recognise well the condition of that country and the culture of that country. We may pursue any number of studies. What is the use of study without Culture? How sacred the culture of Bhārata is! All countries are good. I do not call any of them bad. But of all there are, the sacred one is Bhārata. Bhārata is the country that from ancient times put into practice and proved the authorities of the Vedas, the Śāstras, the Itihāsas and the Purāṇas.
