All political leaders no matter ruling or opposition party. The future of our country is dependent on what you do in the present... Your actions in the present will determine the shape of things in the future. If you wish to secure a great future, you have to conduct yourselves in the present in an ideal and sacred manner.
These may be differences and problems of various kinds among you as individuals. But setting them aside, you should concentrate on the promotion of national well-being. Regard the nation's welfare as your welfare.
Entertain the sacred feeling that the nation's good is your good. There can be no nobler feeling than this for human being, please remember1
"The true mark of a human being is the cultivation of a broad outlook."
When everybody have such a vision, then only you can transform the national scene. This has to be remembered very deeply:
The nation's welfare depends on the individual.
The individual's welfare depends on the family.
The welfare of the family is bound up with the condition of the village and so on up to the national level.
At the base of all is the individual... That is you, no matter who you are. And only when all the individuals in a community act in unison can the country progress.
Unity is, therefore, the essential means for accomplishing anything. There should be no place for factions.
Today there are many factions and rival groups, we should see that there is no room for these divisive forces, in every village there are several factions. This is not good at all.
Please Bear in mind. The man who does not feel that this is his Motherland and has no love for his country is a 'soulless corpse'.
Every citizen should feel proud of his country and feel himself one with everyone else. We must strive our best to promote such a sense of unity.
Every men have both duties and rights, but today they are more concerned about... Rights than duties. Today every citizen appears to be house divided. There is no unity. Remember this:
If the five fingers in a hand do not function in unity, the hand will be useless.
Unfortunately the nation today is affected by the consequences of grievous sin such as business without morality, politics without principle, education without character and wealth without hard work.
The country will regain prosperity and peace only when all these are banished and if we have morality in business, principles in politics, educated men who have character and work the basis of wealth.
The mansion of man's life should be built on these virtues. But unfortunately today morality and integrity have declined and the spirit of sacrifice is on the wane. Because these qualities are lacking among the nation is suffering from disorders and violence. Although these statements may not be quite palatable to anybody to hear, they should realize what the public feel about the present situation.
