Passage 6

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

These children know many Vedic mantras, the Namaka, the Camaka and others. What is more, people from other countries too come and learn the Veda. But the people of Bhārata themselves are forgetting the Veda. Foreigners learn the Vedic mantras in the Sanskrit language and are able to pronounce them with perfect clarity. But what are our people of Bhārata learning? ‘Ding dong bell, pussy is in the well.’ Are these the things we should be learning! No, no. We must recognise the sacred principle of Bhārata. In the land of Bharata, morality is the mother. Honesty is the father. Calmness is the younger sister. Courage is the brother. Forgetting such eternal, sacred relationships, you are building up worldly, fleeting ones. You must not form these crazy attachments. Tell me your company, I shall tell you what you are. Whatever kind of people you make friends with, that is just what you become. So enter into good company.

There is still plenty of time, so I will tell you in the days ahead. Whatever anyone says, I have no fear at all. I have made My Satya itself My support. Let anyone think what they like; it does not matter. I yield to no one. One who has faith in Satya fears no one. So in the days ahead I will bring everything out into the open.
