WHEN MEN REFUSE TO THINK


1. The force of love is stronger than the force of hate. Yet, people, submitting to archaic scriptural prescriptions, still resort to hate. The age-old superstitions will not go. They cling to the conservative mind with venomous hold and disperse the toxin all around.

2. Why must medieval values which are reprehensible in the modern context be allowed to proliferate and poison human society and create havoc? Why can civil society not build up a movement to rid humanity of such tribal inheritance?

3. In this world there are pretenders to piety but most are cowards that dare not face up to evil. Holy is the man who is brave. Now draw your conclusions, my friends.

4. Is it a wonder that crime proliferates in society when 'good' men choose the path of expediency to avoid trouble and camouflaged cowardice is termed piety?

5. Why must the soldiers alone take up the defence of the land? Is it not binding on all to do so? Or are we harbouring the notion that the integrity and sovereignty of the nation are the playthings of left liberals and right radicals and ours is but to witness the decadent spectacle? Time for course correction!

6. Where are the devotees of Swami Vivekananda amongst the professed adherents of his message? Where are the brave ones that dare to 'face the brute' as the Swami was wont to saying? Cowardice and selfishness cannot be the attributes of anyone who is loyal to the Swami. Beware!
