1. The ideal is bigger than the personality; hence, the hankering of followers to deify the hero of their dreams. In the Avatar, however, the ideal becomes manifest almost fully for manifestation is ever an aberration of the Absolute.
2. We must unite to protect the territorial integrity of the motherland at this time of great national crisis.
3. Education of the masses the Indian way is the need of the hour. 'Women and the masses', Swamiji had exhorted us to raise so that the country may rise to its full stature as of yore.
4. These are terrible times when the motherland is threatened with fissiparous tendencies from within and territorial threats from foreign adversaries. We must empower ourselves militarily if we are not to fall prey to foreign aggression yet again.
5. School children must be brought up today on the basis of the leonine principles of Swami Vivekananda. They must be provided with Ramakrishna-Vivekananda literature to help build up their character while still in bloom. Only then will we get to becoming a nation of strength in the future.
6. The past, the present and the future hold us in their thrall and we may not deny them their due. So, many rake up the past, many live engrossed in their present and many are visionaries who peer into the unborn future fraught with possibilities, fruition of their aspirations and dreams.
7. How can we respect our present President when he failed to do so to our first President and our only one ever of undivided India? Our first President was Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose of the Provisional Government of Free India established on 21 Oct, 1943.
8. A nation under grave threat from internal and external security issues yet holds on to that stubborn line of lies about the practice of non-violence as being the cause of its independence. 1962 did teach a lesson and we rectified our stance much. Shall another invasion complete the task before we learn to give the revolutionaries for freedom their dues and imbibe their principles of robust nationalism which will help secure our borders and keep our house in order as well?
9. Unity of purpose, unity of effort and unity of aspiration will integrate the nation but these are to be built on the golden ideas of sacrifice for the common weal and service to the nation with the ennobling end of Self-realisation as the master ideal.
10. How wonderful that we do not know our status as citizens of this country in full even after 70 years of Partition, in the absence of transparency about the Transfer of Power Documents!
