TO THE YOUTH OF INDIA WHO WISH TO RESOLVE THE NETAJI DISAPPEARANCE MYSTERY BASED ON REASONABLE THRUSTS INTO IT RATHER THAN WILD FANCIFUL IMAGININGS



TO THE YOUTH OF INDIA WHO WISH TO RESOLVE THE NETAJI DISAPPEARANCE MYSTERY BASED ON REASONABLE THRUSTS INTO IT RATHER THAN WILD FANCIFUL IMAGININGS

Right. Right you are. So, pile up the pressure for rational statement of fact and not articulate imagination or wild, fanciful thinking devoid of reasonable foundation, if at all the assertions made are to hold their ground. You, as the youth of today, must not give in to superstition or surface reasoning if you wish to unearth the pertinent facts of this case or to resolve it ever to any reasonable satisfaction.

Spiritualism must include rationalism and ought not to exclude it in the establishment of either its principles or its experiential aspects. Therein the Sanatan dharma shastras expound rationally what the sages have intuitively realised in transcendent experience. Swami Vivekananda was of the opinion that reason ought never to be forsaken even in spiritual matters so that it does not degenerate into arrant superstition which is the product not of spiritual culture but of rank materialism.

Hence, the Netaji disappearance mystery discourse must find its way out of this labyrinth of fantasies and beliefs into the broad avenue of clear thinking, clean conceptions and rational rigour. Else, the degeneration of the discussion is bound to be and the corpse of history will fester despite the blossoms of belief heaped on it. The youth must take up this charge and delve deep into this mystery with the scientist's analytical mind and the surgeon's scalpel to conduct this operation of the separation of fact from fiction.
