UPON US LIES THE BURDEN, THIS LABOUR OF LOVE
UPON US LIES THE BURDEN, THIS LABOUR OF LOVE
We, the disciples of Ramakrishna, must manifest character enough to set right the movement that has gone wrong of late. Upon us lies the burden, a very heavy burden to bear, which we must duly do to justify our belonging to him. And first of all it must be by absolute continence and the forsaking of greed, never masquerading it as fundraising for doing welfare work or institutional strengthening. Spirituality cannot be for copper coin compromised. Character indeed and manhood to the marrow that must, to quote Swamiji, 'cleave its way through adamantine walls of difficulty.' At a time of great civilisational danger let this be the clarion call---Jai Ramakrishna!

READ THE QUR'AN AND BE INFORMED
The Qur'an is out there for all Hindus to read and yet they prefer to live in ignorance while nursing such rosy ideas of interfaith harmony and such utterly false notions as 'as many faiths, so many paths' which despite their grand liberalism do not at all address ground realities and in consequence cast a hypnotism of hyper-trust which can only spell the doom on the trusting gullible fools. It is high time to read the Qur'an instead of indulging in idle conjectures.

THE PROMISE OF PARADISE AND THE PRICE TO BE PAID
THE PROMISE OF PARADISE AND THE PRICE TO BE PAID
This promise of Paradise as reward for martyrdom in war waged against the kafir is a most dangerous proposition. For when zeal and superstition join hands, they form an explosive mix, a detonating mixture causing havoc to civilisation. And history bears ample testimony to it. Civilisations have been rent apart, cultures wiped out, women en masse molested, to put it in allieterated milder terms, men murdered by the hundreds of millions, boys castrated and enslaved to bear watch over captive women cast in harems or sold in the slave markets of Arabia, entire nations converted and reduced to desert culture, places of worship desecrated and destroyed, libraries burnt and heritage obliterated---the list goes on endless. And all in the name of the promise of Paradise with its buxom damsels and blissful sensual life. The first vice, lust, and the third vice, greed, have had their field day and have thrust believers into the night of perpetual ignorance, the very ignorance which they in their vanity aim to remove perforce from the rest of enlightened humanity. What a shame!

Sugata Bose @Bilwadal Tapadar : কি পরিবর্তন করেছেন তিনি তো দেখতেই পাচ্ছি | দিনে দিনে রসাতলে যাচ্ছে রাজ্য | অধর্মের চাটুকারিতা করা আমার কর্ম নয়, ধর্ম তো নয়ই | অতএব, ওই যে বললাম, বুদ্ধিতে শান দিন, তবেই আমার বক্তব্য বুঝবেন |
Sugata Bose @Shankar Kumar Chatterjee : If Cardus and cricket can be, why not Mozart and cricket?
Sugata Bose @Bilwadal Tapadar : পরিবর্তন হবে নিয়তির অমোঘ বিধানে | তা আমার অপেক্ষা রাখে না | কর্মফল পেতেই হবে |
Sugata Bose @Bilwadal Tapadar : অনশন ছিল না ভোজনের অন্বেষণ ছিল, ভাববার বিষয় |
Sugata Bose @Imtiaz Mahmood : Israel is more powerful than the invoked agency of Erdogan. Hence, his prayer, plea, petition will all go unanswered as the said agency will have exhausted resources to muster strength enough to even defend his diminishing domain, much less destroy the mighty infidel enemy of persistent refusal to submit to his inferior power.
Sugata Bose @Ram Guna : It sure will. But the workings of karma are complex and often imperceptible even as they are seemingly inscrutable.
Sugata Bose @George Adebisi : Despicable doubtlessly but not senile. He is deliberate in his designs, a shrewd politician who is threatening to overturn Mustafa Kemal Pasha's progressive means and take Turkey back inevitably to the days of the Caliphate with its regressive returns.
Sugata Bose @Debaprasad Bhattacharya : You and I, if we support each other, then others will follow. This is the secret of organisation. It grows over time if the ideal be kept intact and activated in daily life. All movements begin with a seminal one of singular power whose following forge bonds in due course that integrate society. So must we keep making sect after sect harmoniously within the general body of Hinduism that will keep the body politic vibrant and strong enough to resist invasive influences while expanding their influence worldwide. All is not lost. In fact nothing is lost if we stick to what Swamiji said, and act accordingly. But it must not be the cherrypicked version of the Ramakrishna Mission but must be our own understanding of Swamiji's virile message of Hindu self-defence and expansion. 🕉
Sugata Bose @Suvam Mukherjee : Why are you shedding tears? Rise in defence of the Dharma.
Sugata Bose @Ujjal Kumar Ghosh : Perfect assessment, except for the half sainthood. I do not regard him as a saint at all. To me he was a seminal thinker, intellectual and writer. As regards his revolutionary track-record, the less said the better. The Alipore Bomb Case saw the valiant deaths of two bravehearts, Kanailal Datta and Satyendranath Basu, in their successful bid to save Aurobindo from definite death by the noose. But the succeeding cowardly capitulation before the British authorities by way of submission of revolutionary plans has remained one of the worst blots on the revolutionary movement for freedom. Abdication of leadership trust and responsibility at a critical juncture has cast a perennial blot on Ghosh's career which can never be erased.
Sugata Bose @Fb friend: আমার মত হিন্দুও আছেন যাঁরা লড়তে জানেন, কোনো কারণেই দুর্বল রোদনের বশবর্তী হননা, যাঁরা নেতিবাচক, হতাশাব্যঞ্জক বক্তব্য পেশ করেই ক্ষান্ত হননা, স্বধর্মরক্ষাকল্পে শক্তিমান অবস্থান গ্রহণ করেন সর্বতোভাবে | এই সংখ্যা যত বাড়বে---এবং তা বাড়বেই যুগধর্মানুসারে---ততই সমস্যা সমাধানের দিকে যাবে ও সনাতন সভ্যতা সংরক্ষিত হবে | 🕉 হিন্দু !
Sugata Bose @Ujjal Kumar Ghosh : She (Britain) does and is reaping what she has sown worldwide. But the fallout of it (Islamisation of Britain) could be catastrophic for the world as well which would not be in sync with its overall progression. Hindus are in for a worse global predicament.
Sugata Bose @Parnika Bubna : You have a strange concept of mathematical extension where two minutes equates to a day. And it is not merely a concept. It is idea practised to perfection, albeit often making allowance for further extension beyond the stipulated time of passage of the night and the day.
Sugata Bose @James Afreek : The moon cracked from side to side.
Sugata Bose @Kapil Patil : Do you know that 'you' is both singular and plural. Or, are you innocent of grammar? If this rejoinder is difficult to understand and seems nonsensical as well, take the help of another 'you' to make sense of it. Moreover, the literary element and philosophical conception both seem beyond you that you have made such a heavy weather of my observation in the post proper.
Sugata Bose @Kapil Patil : Study Swami Vivekananda in the original English. Keep reading my posts religiously. Read 'Voice of India' publications, especially Sita Ram Goel.
Sugata Bose @Ujjal Kumar Ghosh: The sannyasi is beyond all worldly duties but performs beneficial acts constantly in a dispassionate manner to integrate society and bring it closer to God. Lokasangrahārtham. 🕉
Sugata Bose @Readers of All-time Test Match World XI post : I have largely gone for modern players, considering the modern game to be of a higher level than the earlier version and performers easier to judge on account of my personal experience of watching them in action either on field from the spectator's gallery or on television, something which I have not been privy to with regard to the ancients. Hence the choice.
Sugata Bose @Swapan Kumar Ghosh : We are old. Our digestive system has weakened. The liberal youth are happily buying into these deliberate falsities through their youthful gullibility and emotional expansiveness which give fillip to these dastardly movements designed to destroy the heritage and culture of this timeless civilisation of ours. 🕉
Sugata Bose @Goutam Biswas : No, you must have the courage to name her (Mamata Banerjee). Otherwise it will be deemed cowardice.
Sugata Bose @Chandan Bhattacharjee : Ramakrishna Mission cannot directly involve themselves in politics as they are mandated to abstain from it totally by Swamiji. However, they can easily maintain a stricter spiritual code regarding politicians and not pander to their vanities in any sense as over some years past they have been wont to doing. This means the monks in positions of power are no more spiritual enough to delight in God and not seek earthly benefits from the public and politicians which make them so subservient.
Materialism has affected the Mission and it is no more the order of exalted spirituality as of yore. Work has become attachment which necessarily seeks pecuniary power and in the process perverts the pristine principles of the peerless Paramahamsa and his equally peerless protégé. 'Back to Ramakrishna' must now become the clarion call for the Mission even as Nityaswarupanandaji in the 1980s had sounded it as 'Back to Vivekananda' in his bid to set the Mission right but had to himself face isolation in consequence.
Spiritual people of such eminence, as the high-positioned monks of the Mission are, ought to have the sagacity to set the morals of the masses right by themselves leading exemplary lives and making the Mission adhere to the pristine principles of the Master. If they themselves err in this regard, it is idle to imagine that the Mission can be of any significant use to society at large beyond rendering such doubtlessly seminal services as imparting education to children and young adults, medical services to people, distress relief and soft spiritual preaching of sorts, and last but not the least, building a series of Ramakrishna temples across the country at a time when the country is otherwise going to ruin on account of a terrible loss of morals consequent on gluttony comsuming it to which the Mission of late has fallen a victim too, unfortunately. The question arises though whether the Yugāvatār, that Sri Ramakrishna doubtlessly is, descends on earth to make temples, render flood relief, build medical centres etc. while vice proliferates and virtue continues to subside, with his followers remaining blissfully indifferent to it, or whether he descends to root out evil and supplant it with virtue above all, never remaining aloof to the horrors the Hindus have been facing for a millennium and more of which the fanatically fuelled Partition of the motherland has been the climactic development with its gory never-ending aftermath continuing to destroy Hindu hopes of survival as a civilisation. These and much more trouble the mind but the Mission and its multitude of followers seem to be blissfully apathetic to these concerns that consume my midnight oil, and in consequence the Ramakrishna Mission has become an organisation in isolated insignificance so far as Hindu revival is concerned. To top it all, it had shamelessly appealed for non-Hindu minority status to combat malicious Marxist interference in its workings during the Left Front's rule, a fate fatal which it was spared, courtesy the Supreme Court of India in 1995. If the Left Front Government forced its hands to seek non-Hindu minority status, what would the Nazi Government have induced in it, one remains to wonder! 🕉 Hindu!

MESSAGES GALORE ... 98
1. Would anyone dare call Ambedkar an Islamophobe for his direct criticism of Islam and its practices?
2. Sanskrit must be patronised and popularised for the cultural preservation and civilisational perpetuation of the Hindus.
3. Left, right and centre we are Hindus. 🕉
4. If Chinmoy Krishna Das is martyred in prison, it will be Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerji revisited. He must be immediately unconditionally released.
5. Is God ever too busy to receive our call?
6. Brahmanical qualities must be preserved and where best to do so than in brāhmans who have forgotten their heritage. Awake! 🕉
7. Home is happiness and most so when mother is there.
8. Even in Rome be at home.
9. Mother never forsakes though doubts may arise like that of Christ on the Cross.
10. You call Him Father. We call Her Mother. They are one and the same. Just perspectives differ as per cultural conditioning.
11. My posts are often obscure because they follow the poetic course and express my soul seeking articulation for the moment.
12. হিন্দু, জাগো !
13. 'আমি', 'আমি' করতেই ব্যস্ত সব দুষ্ট নেতানেত্রী যাদের কথা স্মরণ করলেও চিত্ত কলুষিত হয় | যত সব দেশদ্রোহীর দল, স্বাধীনতার পূর্ণ সুযোগ নিয়ে দেশের সর্বনাশসাধনে উদ্যত | এর জন্যই কি স্বামীজী, নেতাজী ও আরো অগণিত বীরবৃন্দ সর্বস্ব ত্যাগ করেছিলেন ? বিদেশী শোষকের চেয়ে এরা বড় কম শয়তান নয় |
14. Islam is based on faith. But a basis in faith is extremely insecure. Any moment it can crumble under the sledgehammer blows of reason. Is this why questioning the fundamental tenets of Islam deemed blasphemous and punishable even by death? But how long can evolving man's thinking capacity be stifled and prophetic propositions propped up perforce?
15. What does 'Imaandaar' mean? Common conception is that such a one is a person of honour. But it actually means that such a one is a true follower of Islam.
16. When politicians make fools of themselves on foreign soil, it becomes an embarrassment for the nation. I hang my head in shame.
17. How shameless are these politicians, what traitors to the nation that they project a bad image of her before the wide world, especially when standing on foreign soil!
18. Man is Truth, greater than all the gods he worships, greater than God Himself, greater than the scriptures he studies and tries to abide by, greater than birth, greater than death, greater than life itself. Man is the beholder, the witness of all the panoramic phenomenal happening, existence itself, consciousness itself, undivided, integral, singular, whole. Man is Man!
19. The world is ruled by rogues.
20. Rationalise religion or get bypassed by the emerging scientific civilisation.
21. God speaks to prophets in their mother tongue. So considerate! Else, revelation in uttered word would have certainly failed.
22. Is the brain then not the originator of thought but the receptor, processor and transmitter of the same?
23. The love of life is the kiss of death.
24.
Why go abroad
With a begging bowl,
Miss your goal
And sell your soul?
25. Be proud to be a Hindu and valorously, vigorously so. Resist the Dawah or invitation to Islam. Likewise resist Christian evangelism.
26. Hypocrisy of politicians is sickening. The older they grow, the worse turn their hypocrisy takes.
27. We need a strong, wise, articulate and uncompromising Hindu leader of character who can deliver us from our impending calamitous fate.
28. Hiding in Hyde Park.
29. Those who say, "l am for all, I am for unity," are for none even as they forge disunity in the polity to serve self-interest.
30. মহারাজ তাঁদের বলব যাঁরা আধ্যাত্মিক ঐশ্বর্যে সমৃদ্ধ, যাঁদের চৌদ্দ আনা মন সংঘের ভৌতিক শক্তিবৃদ্ধির তরে ব্যয়িত নয় |
31. Mozart would have died twice to have heard 'batter' instead of 'batsman'. Batters the music out of you.
32. A religion that has spread through conquest, coercion and conversion is no religion. It is detrimental to human society.
33. আমি আজও মেনে নিতে পারিনি 'বন্দে মাতরম'কে পালটে 'জয় হিন্দ' করা হয়েছিল, সে যে কারণেই হোক |
34. কত বড় বীরাঙ্গনা মহিলা যে তাঁর গর্ভে ভগত সিং জন্মেছিলেন !
35. The revolutionaries were all supremely spititual for they transcended bodily limitations in their zeal to free the motherland.
36. Patriotism is sacrifice, not raising false slogans.
37. Do not weaken the revolutionary spirit of Swamiji that had inspired thousands to sacrifice their all for the motherland's freedom.
38. Durga Bhabi, revolutionary, the selfless all-sacrificing wife of martyred revolutionary Bhagwati Charan Vohra.
39. যে জাতি নিজের স্বাধীনতা সংগ্রামীদের ভুলে মূর্খ মন্ত্রীদের মোসাহেবি করতে পারে, সে জাতির দুর্দশা ঘোঁচাবে কে ?
40. স্বামীজীকে বুঝতে হলে বিপ্লবীদের জীবনী পড়ুন | মহাদেবসম এই মহাপুরুষকে বুঝবার এই প্রকৃষ্ট উপায় |
41. My ma is Sarada Devi, not Jayalalitha, my dada Swamiji, not Sourav Ganguly, and my didi Rani Lakshmi Bai, not Mamata Banerjee.
42. Jatin Das fasted for 63 days and died. Gandhiji fasted until 'death' but lived. And there was one that feasted while 'fasting'.
43. Our politicians are an insult to our revolutionaries who died for freedom. And the worst offenders are the flatterers to power.
44. Kālāpāni or the Black Waters.
45. I will be born again and again to serve my mother--India.
46. Money weakens character and men becomes apologists for the exploitative status quo.
47. Had it not been for the armed revolutionaries who taught the British their due lesson, I would have lost faith in Indian manhood.
48. পরিবর্তন? দিনে দিনে রাজ্য রসাতলে যাচ্ছে | দুর্নীতির চূড়ান্ত ! মোসাহেবি, চাটুকারিতা, মিথ্যাচার, চুরির চূড়ান্ত, অনুপ্রবেশ, সর্বরকম অবিদ্যামায়ার প্রসার---এই কি পরিবর্তনের সংজ্ঞা ? বাংলার ভবিষ্যৎ ভয়াবহ |
49. বাংলার এই হাল আগে কখনও হয়নি | চরিত্র, আদর্শ, ত্যাগ, সেবা, নিঃস্বার্থ দেশপ্রেম---আজ সব বিলুপ্ত | ঘোরতর দুর্দিন, ভয়াবহ ভবিষ্যৎ !
50. India was heating up for revolution. But Gandhiji lowered the temperature each time. Less than critical heat, the revolution never happened and here we are paying for its consequences.
51. Each Hindu must stand up for the defence of every other Hindu. In unity lies our strength. Look around and sleep no more. Awake!
52.
সর্বধর্ম সমন্বয় !
কি বলেন কর্তা মশাই ?
53.
'যত মত, তত পথ |'
তাই কি, ভগীরথ ?
54. হিন্দু অবশিষ্ট না থাকলে থাকবে কি সর্বধর্ম সমন্বয় ? থাকবে ঠাকুরের বাণী ? কেউ মানবে 'যত মত, তত পথ' ?
55. হিন্দু সংহতিই হিন্দুরক্ষার উপায় |
56.
'যত মত, তত পথ |'
তা'লে কেন চলে উলটো রথ ?
57. ঠাকুর ধর্মরক্ষা আর অধর্মনাশ করতেই তো এসেছিলেন | কিন্তু কার্যতঃ অধর্ম রক্ষা পেল আর ধর্ম নাশ হল | ইতিহাস আপাততঃ অবতারকে পরাস্ত করে চলেছে |
58. The same laws should apply for all citizens of India without exception. Only then is legal equality achievable.
59. Roadside namāz must be forthwith prohibited. Causing inconvenience to traffic and to pedestrians is incompatible with piety.
60. Let us dance while Bengal gets Islamised. Song and dance divine will save us from the sword.
61. Politicians who are making room for the Islamisation of Bengal are crooks.
62. Reject antinational crooks and rebuild the motherland beginning with Bengal.
63. The early Bengal revolutionaries barring Aurobindo Ghosh still inspire me, especially men like Rash Behari Bose, Sachindranath Sanyal and Hemchandra Ghosh. Their sustained sacrifice for the freedom of the motherland spanning decades is my life breath in this age of declining values when selfishness has become the hallmark of every 'icon' stealing the limelight.
64. Pritilata Waddedar and Kalpana Datta---the dual dynamite of Chittagong.
65. হিন্দির 'জানবুঝকর' হয়ে গেছে বাংলায় 'জেনেবুঝে' | বাহবা বাংলার চলমান হিন্দিআয়ন ! নদীপথে ভাষা বেশ চলেছে !
66. From the horizontal to the vertical is the evolutionary movement.
67. Europe will die if Islamic population explosion continues within its borders. Its Judeo-Christian heritage is under serious threat.
68. Return to Ramakrishna!
69. Industrial greed fuelled by political patronage is ruining the nation at a time when we are internally facing a civilisational threat. Will we survive? If so, how long?
70.
Bengal, Bengal, burning bright.
How in Oxford torrid sight!
Ah, pathetic, pitiful plight!
71. The Waqf Amendment Bill to be tabled today at noon in Parliament. The outcome will be momentous either way.
72. 
The Master whom nobody follows today. No wonder he is due to descend again soon, very soon, to reestablish his flouted ideals.
73. What is the real nature of an Islamic state? Read history, look around to see what's going on in the Islamic states and conclude.
74. So much of India is Waqf property? My goodness! Prior to Muslim invasion India was wholly ours. Now no more? What sort of freedom did we achieve then on the grounds of religion? After all the Muslims got their pound of flesh in Pakistan by dismembering the motherland on both her flanks. And yet the Waqf Board with its huge holdings and increasing evermore?
75. Hindus should not sell civilisational interest to money. Commerce cannot take precedence over culture. Heritage must be reclaimed and preserved. Civilisation must link up to its disrupted past and continuum sought thereon. Hindus must value age-old civilisation over pecuniary profit of the hour.
76. This relentless war of words that I wage to defend Hindu interests is what is called 'dharmayuddha'.
77. Evil must be eliminated and righteousness restored. That is the Avatar's call.
78. This is an ideological war and it will be won. The days of evil are numbered.
79. The moonlit night or the starlit heavens cannot match the radiance of the morning sun. The dewy dawn will dispel darkness.
80. The influence of the Sanatan Dharma has been shrinking for over a millennium. India has been broken in brokering a deal for freedom. Now internally the threat looms large as intolerance of faith that is essentially antithetical to pluralism and democracy grows larger by the day.
81. As peace plays politics, war looms large. The perfidies of the times are pernicious indeed.
82. Patriotic triplespeak, communal liberalism.
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1612P3VPFz/
83. দিদি ? কার দিদি ? আমার নয় | দাদা ? কার দাদা ? আমার নয় | আমার দিদি, দাদা এ রকম নন | তাঁরা চরিত্রবতী, চরিত্রবান |
84. Politicians are politicians, crooks of a kind.
85. Call it a religion that declares by way of foundational doctrine that all other religions are false and calls for their destruction or subjugation? No, it is not. It is a fanatical cult in point of truth and is a dark force unleashed on human civilisation to take it back to primeval times when only the predator-prey relation ruled the roost.
86. Conversion is basically stupidity. Immature faiths convert others to their fold.
87. An end to Islamic invasion on Indian land is at hand. The Waqf Amendment Bill is a welcome move.
88. Unless you destroy wicked ideology, wickedness in practice cannot be destroyed. 'Hate the sin, not the sinner.'
89. Kiran Rijiju dazzling in Parliament. This is what character is all about.
90. You cannot have a nation within a nation.
91. India is sovereign and every move to the preservation of that end is dharma.
92. Once the Islamisation of Europe will be irreversibly advanced to spell its doom, today's liberals will understand that the far-right were not all this while indulging in hate-speech after all. The same applies to India. Truth-telling is not indulging in hate-speech.
93. This strange stupid business of conversion is a blot on civilisation and is taking us to medieval barbarism, to roguish tribalism.
94. The brain must not be mortgaged to book, however supposedly holy.
95. The science they follow is of the day. The faith they follow is of tribal times.
96. My God lives in the brain. My God lives in the heart. He is a thinking God, a feeling God and not an ignorant cursing God damning infidels to hell.
97. The only Saviour you are. None else can save you.
98. Stupid people are ruling the world. And we have one prime example of it here. Of course stupidity compounded with wickedness makes for a deathly mix. And we in a sinking ship are in for that drowning end.
99. The partitioned parts of undivided India will themselves suffer partition. Price for perfidy!
100. Dr. Radha Mohan Das Agrawal--what a patriotic speech in the Rajya Sabha! Shame on the antinationals working to destroy the nation!
101. Why people who in truth wish to destroy the nation in the name of fanatical faith cite the Constitution to do so? This is trickery.
102. There are too many traitors working against national interest. Stringent measures required to combat such perfidy.
103. A man who has renounced and witnessed the godhead within him, what care he whether the universe rises or falls? 🕉
104. In the year of the centenary celebrations of the RSS the first humanistic act is on. The Waqf Amendment Bill is due to be enacted soon to the delight of countless millions of potential beneficiaries.
105. The country's interest comes first. All antinational activity must be curbed to facilitate national growth.
106. India is a secular country only in name. It is ruled by religion in real.
107. Parliamentarians ought to behave like model citizens. Else they lose the moral right to legislate on citizens' affairs.
108. What a speech by Dr. Sudhanshu Trivedi! Bowled over, although he much too far strayed from the subject.
109. Momentous 'Waqf Amendment Bill' passed by both houses of Parliament.
110. Unbelievable whole night session going on in the Rajya Sabha. Manipur in the dark and being discussed in the deep dark of the night.
111. Home Minister Amit Shah blasts Bengal in the Rajya Sabha over atrocities on women. Silences Brien from Bengal.
112. House (Rajya Sabha) adjourned to the crow of the cock. It has been a marathon session in Parliament. Sleep now, my legislator friends. Time of adjournment: 4.02 a.m.
113. How precious Parliamentary time is wasted by raising ruckus! Can a nation given to such top-tier indiscipline rise to eminence?
114. Recently I have been getting greater access into the surface minds of people and am horrified to witness their predominant features. Seems I am friendless in this world of down-sighted people. I am reminded of Sri Ramakrishna's parable of the ghost seeking another ghost in cremation ground after cremation ground, only to awake to the realisation that the seeming dead are quite alive and kicking to the world of the senses. Money can be dehumanising indeed, especially when greed is covered in surface civilisation. Niggardliness is detestable and is the obverse of greed.
115. The way legislators behave in Parliament-- would such unruly behaviour be tolerated in children in any school?
116. আমাদের দেশে এত সাধু মহাত্মা রয়েছেন | কই, রাজনৈতিক দুর্বৃত্তদের বিরুদ্ধে একটা কথাও তো কাউকে বলতে শুনি না ? বুঝেছি | সেই পুরোনো ছেঁদো যুক্তি---স্বামীজীর বারণ ! ঠাকুর-স্বামীজীর অন্যান্য বিধিনিষেধ মানা নিষ্প্রয়োজন কিন্তু এইটি, বাবা, মানতেই হবে, সে দেশ থাকুক আর চুলোয় যাক ! যাই, একটু নেচে নি তার বদলে | দেশের কল্যাণ হবে |
117. Balancing of emotion by the intellect and the intellect by emotion calls for a harmonic personality who is best fitted to serve the nation. The rest are rogues who rule the roost, fuelled as they are by petty self-interest which though have large catastrophic consequences for the nation. And the same applies to humanity at large. The ill-grown individual usurping power using democratic deceit continues to ruin the prospects of this nation when millions have sacrificed their all to achieve its independence from the crafty colonist. This must end. But how? By developing character that spurns worldly possessions like dirt and values the health of the motherland above all. One such was Netaji. When comes another like him?
118. If God can bless you, you can bless yourself better. Your dead-honest work is your blessing, your perfect purity your prayer.
119. Religion is not just publishing books by permuting and combining old information to give it a new garb. Religion is living the life.
120. Ought one, who has performed his last rites and embraced monasticism, to once more get mired in money-making even to serve organisational interest?
