It is strange that, although, everybody professes to be a great patriot and seemingly espouses the cause of the revolutionaries, verbally as also credibly through real action, yet, they are so laid back in backing the Petition that we have made to the Government of India and do not quite adequately support the cause. This lack of the faculty to combine forces and merely be individualistic in approach in all endeavour is symptomatic of the slave with petty bickering its ultimate objective in this grand terrestrial existence. This lack of organisation is the cause of much of our downfall and it is evident very widely in our society which effectively retards our national progress and keeps us more enchained to the perfidies of the past than the betrayals themselves in real terms do.
Time it is to redress this situation and work collectively for the common good and for the restoration of our pride and prestige in the martyrs to freedom and the revolutionaries of sublime sacrifice. We cannot vouch that we are selfish patriots for that would be a contradiction in terms. One's patriotism must show up in tangible terms beyond all attempts to garner support for personal gain, however camouflaged the endeavour may be. At the end of the day the nation suffers our selfishness and goes down daily into the mire of material misery. We must, therefore, learn to combine forces and help each other in our bid to bring glory to our motherland and never consciously for ourselves, for in the glorification of the motherland lies our individual glory. Such is the substance of the martial spirit which Swami Vivekananda was wont to saying and such ought to be our motto : Sacrifice of the self for the common weal, obliteration of the self for the realisation of the Self.
May the revolutionaries bless us to overcome weakness for it is the weak that seeks self-interest and never the one of supernal strength! Bande Mataram! Jai Hind!
