TULSI PRAJÑA to our lot, with such materials as we are privileged to shape and mould, to help him develop into a liberated, free fearless actor in life; as he enters adult responsibilities and challenges.
(4.10) Ideals, when combined with interests, generate dedicated, sustained action, releasing unsuspecting inner energies. The general goal has been clearly articulated in our civilization, right from its early down, streching into the present. This work-ethic is summed up in the three aspirations of our being - lead me from darkness to light, from the wrong to the right path; from death to continued being:
“तमसो मा ज्योर्तिगमय । असतो मा सदगमय । मृत्योमा अमृतम गमय ।'
Admittedly, it is a difficult and daunting path. But it is there. Understanding the issue in its total context is half the battle; and our discussion is a contribution to that end.
