सत्य जीवन

सत्य अज्ञेय, बोध भी सत्य है 

निरंतर सत्य, अंतर भी सत्य है 

जीवन सत्य, सनातन है  

आत्ममय, यह चराचर है 

धर्म एकता, सौहार्द, और सहयोग है 

अधर्म अनेकता, घृणा, और वैमनस्य है 

अधर्म रूग्णता, निवारण उसका धर्म है

धर्म सत्य,  धर्म कर्म जीवन है

Truths

The best truths are what one experiences first-hand, but even then that may not be the same for others. Many things we do not experience, but are made to be experienced. The selection of the to-be-experienced and the intent of the presenters makes a difference. Even if one experiences something on their own, the critical factor is not the subject, but the cognitive orientation of the experiencer. Different people respond differently to the same thing.

By and large, barring some very basic things, like this is a bat and that is a ball, truths are what we favour and lies are what we disfavour.

What are objective truths then? It is mutuality. It is the sense of respectability and responsibility towards others. It is something human agency endeavours to nurture in each. A crisis looms large when such endeavours do not materialise or insufficiently materialise.

Truth is truthfulness.

Means or End

Social relations, creative engagements, and productive activities are not means to some end but end by themselves. Life is but meaning and purpose. At the same time, communities owe this responsibility. The unengaged often bring hell to others. Schools must train and motivate undergraduates for them, and municipalities must care for and facilitate them.

Nationalism

Nationalism is a community's awareness of and commitment to itself. It is realised, recognised, institutionalised, and structured sovereign unity for justice and excellence by one and all.

शब्दों की खेती

शब्दों की खेती करते 

उगाते असंभव के पौध
देख प्रफुल्लित होते
बोधहीनता के कंटकों में उलझे लोग

Industrialists

Industries form the backbone of a nation. Mind it, it is not only bone but also bonemarrow. Our industrialists are real heroes. They could outwit the colonial regime to flourish and survive the socialist spell. And, in this lofty endeavour, they helped the rise of nationalism and nation-building.
The capitalism they brought led democracy to grow and deepen its roots. In other colonies, where capitalism could not take root, democracy failed to emerge or survive.

निंदक

निंदक नियरे राखिए, आंगन कुटी छवाय,
बिन पानी, साबुन बिना, निर्मल करे सुभाय

आदर्श स्थिति यह है कि विज्ञों और सज्जनों के मध्य श्रेष्ठ सत्य के लिए सम्मानपूर्वक संवाद होता रहे, लेकिन निंदक की भी बौद्धिकता के लिए उपादेयता है। निंदा की प्रवृत्ति बौद्धिकता के अभाव और ईर्ष्या भाव से जनित होती है। निंदक विचारों में कमियाँ बताता है और तथ्यों की गलत व्याख्या करता है। प्रतिबद्ध विचारक उसको दृष्टिगत करते हुए अपने विचारों का परिष्कार करेगा और उसकी सही व्याख्या कर उसे और बोधगम्य बनाएगा।
