NATIONAL YOUTH DAY ... 2

NATIONAL YOUTH DAY ... 2

Doubt your religion. Do not fear. Break free. There is no better way of life than to live by your own human standards and not by so-called divine dictate that cannot stand up to the test of reason and must violently enforce itself.

There is no hell to fear hereafter, no fire to burn in. The earthly fire reject and the hellish fire will be extinguished.

There is no heaven to aspire for than the one which you can now create by your humanistic impulses here itself on earth. 

Do not live in fear of a God who is the product of archaic imagination, a clever tool to keep people down in political subjugation. Do not get into these traditional trappings. Come out of it and breathe the fresh air of freedom. You have suffered long. Now suffer no more. Break free and for once live your life by your own standards, not that of a Prophet or a God, a Messenger or a Messiah, but entirely by your own self-set rules of cooperative and cultured civic living.

May my love and good wishes go with you as you venture forth to find your bearings!
