Being Indian!

Here's a message from the Youth Icon of India:

"To me an Indian is one who has got a Vedantic brain which probes deep and soars high; an Islamic body that is vibrant and valiant; a Buddhistic heart overflowing with compassion and kindness and Christian limbs of service and sacrifice.”

-- Swami Vivekananda.

It is he who won everyone's heart at the World's Parliament of Religions in 1893! It is he who took Hindu Philosophy to the west! It is he who emphasized the Synthesis of Religions with the theme: The Goal is the same, Paths there are many!

If we bear the above in mind, there is no power on Earth that can stop us from being the best country in the world. If not, simply forget about becoming first world because we'll just keep wasting all our time and energy in fighting with each other.

Absorb this deeply! It is such Spiritual Giants that have stood the test of time that we need to pay heed to and learn from!

[As I cry out every time his birth anniversary comes around: Wish he had stayed on for a few more decades! He would have straightened us out nice and proper! Went so early! Went so early!]
