Its The Youth Who Will Transform This Nation : Swami Vivekananda

Hey Crazies! 

Today in this blog I will share the words of Swami Vivekananda himself to you. I have collected some of his frozen thoughts from his lectures, missions and books. The title I decided is It is the youth who will transform the nation. 

He says..

"My faith is in the younger generation, the modern generation, out of them will come my workers. They will work out the whole problem, like lions. I have formulated the idea and have given my life to it. If I do not achieve success, some better one will come after me to work it out, and I shall be content to struggle."

"Where are the men? That is the question. Young men, my hope is in you. Will you respond to the call of your nation? Each one of you has a glorious future if you dare to believe me. Have a tremendous faith in yourselves, like the faith I had when I was a child, and which I am working out now. Have that faith, each one of you, in yourselves - that eternal power is lodged in every soul - and you will revive the whole of India. Ay, we will then go to every country under the sun, and our Ideas will before long be a component of that many forces that are working to make up every nation in the world. Now for that, I want Young people. It is the young, the strong, and healthy, of sharp intellect that will reach the Lord - says the Vedas."

" My hope of the future lies in the youth of character - intelligent, renouncing all for the service of others, and obedient- who can sacrifice their lives in working out my ideas and thereby do good to themselves and this country at large. Otherwise, ignorant common boys are taking over..dullness is written on their faces - their hearts devoid of energy, their body feeble and unfit to work and mind empty of courage. What will be done by these? If I get ten to twelve people with the infinite faith of Nachiketâ, I can turn the thoughts and pursuits of this country in a new channel. 

And among some who appear to me be of a good calibre, some have bound themselves by matrimony, some have sold themselves for acquiring name, fame or wealth, while some are of feeble bodies. The rest, who form the majority, are unable to recieve and grasp any high idea. You are no doubt fit to recieve any high idea, but you are not able work them out in practical field! 

For these reasons, sometimes an anguish comes to my mind, and I think that taking this human body, I could not do much work through untowardness of fortune. Of course, I have not yet wholly given up hope, for, by the will of God, from among these very boys may arise in time great heroes of action and spirituality who will in future work out my ideas."

I'm sure you got my point of view by reading these words of Swamiji. For the same reason, taking him as my idol, I am expanding my deep thinking to all the areas of complexities and am trying to work them out. Also, teamwork always prevails, so YOU being the part of our journey of Awakening India, TRY YOUR BEST! 

To be connected more, I have joined YouTube too as a platform to share innovation and pure ideas. Check out my first video which is on Education For Nation Building.
