But now?
The brains of the modern day youngsters are blunt. We can see them rising only if their minds, which are at present distorted.
Disbelief exists in our youngsters to a somewhat great extent. There is no meaning at all to this disbelief. If we compare the environments in which the foreign youth are living to that of our youth, it has to be said that our vouth have much better. Whatever competition is existing in the West is not present here in the
East. The cultural collapse which is prevalent there, fortunately, does not exist here. It is really an unfathomable puzzle as to why we have to subject ourselves to so much disbelief, in spite of our having a nice and congenial atmosphere here.
The second deficiency which our youth possess is the absence of the enthusiasm to change the environment in which we live. They do not have the desire and ambition to become great scientists or big entrepreneurs.
They do not also think that they possess the required amount of energy.
However, as a matter of fact, our youth's minds do possess an abnormal amount of energy. If you were to show something as a symbol of the amount of our youth's energy, you would have to point to an ocean.
The minds of youth are as powerful as the depths of the ocean. Like the waves, whenever we perform each task, a little amount of energy leaves us.
Have we seen an end to the waves in the ocean? Have we seen an ocean completely dried up? Likewise, the energy you possess is never destructible at all.
Vivekananda once said, 'Give me a hundred youngsters. I will change Bharat.' The task of changing our country is fine. First of all, let us try to change ourselves.
Childhood is past. We cannot change it now. Old age is the future. If we want it to live in a particular age, youth is the present time. Let's not miss it.
There is morality in most of our youth. Particularly, individual morality is very present in some. The belief and enthusiasm which the foreign youngsters have, is wanting in our youngsters.
If morality, belief and enthusiasm are present, then, such a person's run for achievement will be similar to the steady running of a horse with proper blinders on its eyes. They can hit the target. They won't miss their way.
If a person possesses mere belief and enthusiasm and is devoid of morality, then it will rule and trouble the man like a wild horse. It will ultimately cause him to become like a very old horse. Only dullness will remain in his life.
How do we wish our running to be?
The run of an old horse?
The run of a winning horse in a race?
Decide yourself.
If morality, belief and enthusiasm are exhibited in abundance, success is for certain. Winning is sure. Succeed in life!
