ARISE! AWAKE! ... 3

World civilisation has to be built. It cannot be if major powers play their selfish roles. Hindu spirituality must play its part. It is not doing so. Massive preaching of Ramakrishna-Vivekānanda in a robust way across the whole world is necessary. Manhood must manifest in spiritual propagation, not effeminacy in monastic dance. The world is thirsting for spiritual knowledge and peaceful repose. India is failing to supply it although it has such resources at its disposal. There must be massive mobilisation of spiritual arsenal across the world. This is the one way to save the world from continuing conflict and war. 

Civilisation is a human affair. It is not nationalistic in nature anymore in a closely connected world. The Government of India ought to facilitate this foreign policy of ours that was highlighted by Swami Vivekananda well over a century ago, that of propagating the Vedānta the world over in all its phases. Now is the time. Ramakrishna Mission, gear up. Spread Ramakrishna-Vivekānanda in a bold manly manner. It is the charge that you bear. Exhibit the zeal that is expected of you. Yours is a world mission. You must fulfil it. The peerless Paramahamsa did not visit this earth for anything short of spiritualising the whole world and ushering in a new civilisation.
