Question

Swami Vivekananda, the great spiritual guru of India once said. ..Character is destiny." Character is that trait on which the destiny of a nation is built. One cannot have a great nation with men of small character. We must have young men and women who look upon others as the living image of themselves as our Shastras have so often declared. But whether in public life or student life, we cannot reach great heights, if we are lacking in character. We cannot climb the

mountain when the ground at our feet is crumbling.

Britisher to Vivekanand: Cant U wear proper cloths to be a Gentleman?

Vivekanand: In your Culture Dress makes Gentleman but in our Culture CHARACTER makes Gentleman..

When the very basis of our structure is shaky how can we reach the heights we have set before ourselves? We must all have humility. Here is a country in which we are all interested in building up for whatever service we take up, we should not care for what we receive. We should know how much we can put into that service. That should be the principle that should animate our young men and women. Ours is a great country, we have had for centuries a great history. The whole of the East reflects our culture.
