Passage 3

In English

The need of the hour is that young men and women should develop and foster moral values. It is their bounden duty to uphold values. However, today the youth are unable to understand what morality is and what its values are, leave alone practicing them. Consequently, they are subjected to untold hardships. It is said, one who lacks (morality) is worse than a (monkey). The term is no ordinary word. It is highly valuable and sacred. How can one who does not foster morality, uphold humanness? Humanness lies in leading a life of morality. The modern youth have no idea as to what life is and what its goal is. Morality is referred to as in Sanskrit. In fact, taught the importance of morality to the leaders in the Roman kingdom. Consequently, they named their kingdom after and called it the kingdom of God. The true meaning of morality lies in cognizing and manifesting the latent divinity in humanity and propagating the same to the entire world. The English word ‘person’ has its origin in the Roman word ‘persona’. The Romans used this word to describe as he manifested his divinity and attracted everyone. The word ‘persona’ symbolizes the divinity latent in man. Similarly, is the equivalent word in Telugu for ‘person’. A is one who has the capacity to manifest the (hidden) divinity. The words ‘persona’ and point to the truth that divinity lies in a hidden way in everybody. Man should make every effort to express the divinity that is hidden in him. Only then can he be called a or a true human being. Though divinity is latent in him, he considers himself weak and helpless, as he is unable to recognize and manifest this divinity.
