This booklet comprises an illuminating talk given by Swami Ranganathananda in 1980. The author has shown in this talk that the success and achievement of our democracy depends to the extent our citizens are men and women of sound character enlightened with noble qualities of head and heart.
I look back upon the history of my country,i don’t find the whole world another country which has done quite so much for the improvement of the human mind.Out of the past is build the future.Look back therefore as far as you can,drink deep of the eternal foundations that are behind, and after that,look forward,march forward and make India brighter,greater,much bigger than ever was. -Swami Vivekananda
Pages: 38About the Book The wave rises on the ocean, and there is a hollow. Again another wave rises, perhaps bigger than the former, to fall down again, similarly, again to rise-driving onward. In the march of events, we notice the rise and fall, and we generally look towards the rise, forgetting the fall. But both are necessary, and both are great. This is the nature of the universe. Whether in the world of our thoughts, the world of our relations in society, or in our spiritual affairs, the same movement of succession, of rises and falls, is going on. Hence great predominances in the march of events, the liberal ideals, are marshaled ahead, to sink down, to digest, as it were, to ruminate over the past-to adjust, to conserve, to gather strength once more for a rise and a bigger rise. The history of nations also has ever been like that. The great soul, the Messenger we are to study this afternoon, came at a period of the history of his race which we may well designate as a great fall. We catch only little glimpses here and there of the stray records that have been kept of his sayings and doings; for verily it has been well said, that the doings and sayings of that great soul would fill the world if they had all been written down. And the three years of his ministry were like one compressed, concentrated age, which it has taken nineteen hundred years to unfold, and who knows how much longer it will yet take! Little men like you and me are simply the recipients of just a little energy. A few minutes, a few hours, a few years at best, are enough to spend it all, to stretch it out, as it were, to its fullest strength, and then we are gone for ever. But mark this giant that came; centuries and ages pass, yet the energy that he left upon the world is not yet stretched, nor yet expended to its full. It goes on adding new vigour as the ages roll on. Now what you se
