OUT OF THE WOMB OF TIME THE NATION EMERGES

OUT OF THE WOMB OF TIME THE NATION EMERGES

National calmness must be achieved. Large numbers of people must meditate deeply to bring about this general calm in society. Right now there is too much of frivolity, too great a boisterousness that is not conducive to creative output or excellence in endeavours, whatever they may be.

The national mind must be integrated, held concentrated and creative, and wasteful activity must be eschewed. Only when large numbers of citizens take to becoming deep individuals can this country rise to eminence again.

This frivolous mode of the urban national mind must be replaced with a serious concern for our country's advancement in every field. This stupid cinematic culture, decadent and putrid, must give way to a fresh affirmation of the latent potentialities of the country.

Indeed, it is dark today but we will come through it as the coming generations will not tolerate such arrant nonsense coming from the Mumbai and Chennai film industries and going by the name of national culture. These film personalities, who are wrongly assumed as icons, will be cut to size as the emerging nation assumes its true characteristics en route to creative affirmation of its rising cultural status. Mass education and a rising quality of it will dispel current national delusions in frivolous delight and instil greater commitment in the citizenry to build a new, vibrant India.

India is not yet dead. Her life-story has yet not been written full. Some chapters are about to unfold. Others are gestating in the womb of the future, to arrive on earth at the appropriate hour. But the wait shall not be long. The generations are being born. They shall transform society.
