Dear brothers and sisters,
it is said that the night is the darkest just before the moment of dawn: in our struggle for our beloved people, sometimes some cloudy days will come, but the Sun of prosperity and happiness will shine finally, there is no doubt about it.
It is simply a matter of sensitivity that makes a person what he/she is: the same incident/circumstances provokes the inner fire in a sensitive person and motivates him/her to launch a movement whereas to the insensitive lot, who are utterly incapable of thinking beyond their bodies of flesh and bones, they are airy nothing. But the point is what to make of our sensitivity, our social consciousness, our deepest possible feelings of empathy for our fellow brethren, their tears, their agonies, their groans and moans. Friends, our actions and only our actions will matter: all our words, all our feelings have no worth, unless we shape them into concrete, continuous, tireless action.
I read somewhere few days ago: every minute, a child dies of starvation in this world : do u want to know what starvation can be, fast for 3 days and u will know and then what to say of dying of hunger. In last 2 years, more than 50 people died of hunger in UP: similar is case in many other states of India. how can a socially conscious person dream of enjoying comforts and luxuries by seeing this ocean of misery. If I or you are left to die of hunger and we remain calm and composed, then we can remain calm and composed when our fellow brethren dies of hunger ??? Each tear of our people is our own tear, their groans are our own: in their happiness lies our happiness, in their sufferings lies our suffering: and if not, let us not even dream that we can be a patriot.
Some sceptical people ask me, "Why do you talk so passionately about renunciation ?" Renunciation is not such a painful term: it must be painful for a pseudo-nationalist, who want to pay only lip service to the society by discussing the social issues during meal hours, during snack hours and on online forums just to conceal his/her cowardice. For a true patriot, renunciation of selfishness and worldly desires is Truth personified, it is his/her only destiny, renunciation is his/her only glory, his/her only hope and only life.
One friend just told me about 1 very agonising issue: in IIT Kanpur, there is a sweet shop. In this shop, there works a 11 year old child, he lives in the shop, sleeps there, works there for more than 12 hours and he is given only 600 per month: such lives of deprivation, privation and criminal exploitation is the norm in our country, and not the exception. (in tomorrow meeting of Kanpur Chapter, we will discuss to develop some concrete action-plans for this). So many ironic examples before our own eyes: those who build our schools, they can't send their children to same school, those who built our temples, we ostracised them as untouchables: shame on us!!! and this shame will not be erased till we eradicate these agonies, these privations of our people.
this anguish we are suffering since early teenage : we ask again and again : what to do, what to do ? Only a few care : is not this the harsh truth ? so what these few should do ? sacrifice everything, literally everything for changing the lives of our people, for wiping their tears, for eradicating their sufferings: forget all personal goals, burn all worldly attachments, and be a solider of humanity, ready to do or die, and let us fight it out till our last breath. victory or defeat, whatever comes our way, honour or abuses, whatever be our fate, we all must exhibit such an exceptionally high level of patriotism and social consciousness whole life so that when we are to die, each cell of our body resonate with this feeling - I gave everything that I could do, everything!!! A life of such complete fulfilment, such utter satisfaction is possible only when we renounce all our worldly desires at the altar of our motherland.
O friends! as long a single person suffers from chilling poverty in this world: our Mission will not be complete - it may be possible that we
may not accomplish all goals in our lifetimes, but we will give our best, we will do our best breath-by-breath, inch-by-inch till a single breath remains in our body.
In these faces of small children, we see our own faces - let the time , let this whole world bear testimony to the truth that our patriotism, our social consciousness is not impulsive, but volcanic : let us keep the flame of nationalism ever burning in the sacred shrine of our heart whole life, let us pledge ourselves to be a ideal father/mother to our crores of children, who are looking towards us with high expectation - looking from their innocent eyes begging on railways platform, washing dishes in hotels and working in hazardous industries, dying in the arms of their mothers due to curable diseases, just because they are born to a poor family - their eyes - have you felt them ? If yes, if really yes, be our lifelong comrade, be a fulltime leader of BM and join BM_fulltime (group of future fulltime members) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bm_fulltime/ and fight with us inch-by-inch for the happiness of our crores of children, to restore the dignity of life and living to our crores of people - our own people, our own souls, our own hearts, our own Self.
I am pouring my feelings about the spirit of true patriots in below lines:
We are not to ask why,
We are but to do or die.
March on! O Patriot! March on!
Struggle for that is your destiny.
Fight for that is your duty.
Serve for that is your nature.
live and die for your ideals,
for that is your true glory.
March on! O Patriot! March on!
heed not the bark of dogs,
not even the thunderbolts of sky,
let the storm of trials arise,
to finally become our garlands.
March on! O Patriot! March on!
let us not give up our Dharma,
for the sake of Artha & Kama,
we may lose the battle,
but not the war of life,
March on! O Patriot! March on!
We will parish one day,
but our fragrance will not,
what better life,
can you have, O Patriot!
We welcome to you to a life of service and renunciation, we welcome you to burn all worldly desires at the altar of motherland, so that the true patriot, the true human being in us shine with full intensity, and give light to our own souls and to the suffering mankind. We welcome you again to be a fulltime leader of BM, to join BM_fulltime group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bm_fulltime
Let renunciation be our supreme guide and service our leading light whole life. Glory to the spirit of BM, glory to the spirit of true nationalism present in all of us.
