when we say
0:11
youth we are talking about a life which
0:14
is still in the
0:16
making which is still in a state where
0:20
it is not too conceited and
0:22
lost A life which suggests hope A life
0:27
which suggests seeking and wanting and
0:30
longing to know life and the truth about
0:34
life When I say truth about life the
0:37
word truth has been used in so many ways
0:40
When we say truth most people think it's
0:42
some other worldly
0:45
stuff I want you to look at it this
0:48
way What truly works is truth in any
0:53
sphere of life You want to walk Is it
0:57
better to walk on your feet or is it
0:59
better to use your head to walk you want
1:03
to walk on your head no You will end up
1:05
being bald It's not a good way to walk
1:08
Feet are better like this I'm making it
1:10
too simplistic for you But this is the
1:13
essence of what truth means in different
1:16
dimensions of life What is it that
1:19
really
1:20
works seeking this is seeking for truth
1:25
This is a culture We as a nation this
1:28
bat has been a culture which has always
1:31
been a land of seekers Never a land of
1:34
believers Essentially what this means is
1:37
this Either you have assumptions about
1:40
everything You have concretized ideas
1:43
about everything or you are willing to
1:46
seek what is the truth about any aspect
1:49
of life because you're interested that
1:52
it happens in the best possible way Now
1:55
we have a fortune on our
1:57
hands that nearly 50% of India's
2:01
population is below 25 years of age No
2:05
nation on the planet has this fortune
2:07
right now But to make this into your
2:10
true fortune and not a disaster the
2:13
youth should become seekers of
2:16
truth Not getting adhired to some
2:20
ideology some belief system some
2:23
philosophy No you must be seekers of
2:26
truth This is what being youth means
2:28
that you are not willing to settle for
2:31
false things You want to find out what
2:34
is it that really works on the level of
2:37
your body What is it that works on the
2:39
level of your mind what is it that works
2:40
on the level of your emotion what is it
2:42
that works on the level of your life
2:44
energy what is it that works on the
2:46
level of your relationship with the rest
2:48
of the world what is it that works in
2:51
every sphere of life what is it that
2:54
works at its best and allows this life
2:57
to function in its ultimate possible
3:01
way if this search and this seeking is
3:04
given up then you are no more youth You
3:07
have become old You have settled
3:10
Preparing for the grave You have settled
3:12
down Which year were you born does not
3:15
decide whether your youth are
3:17
old Have you made conclusions about life
3:21
or are you still open and longing to and
3:24
seeking to know the nature of life this
3:27
is what makes you either youthful or old
3:30
It is important that every life stays
3:33
youthful especially youth of this nation
3:35
and the world It is very very important
3:39
you are seekers of truth It is time the
3:42
populations of this world particularly
3:44
the youth move from religion to
3:48
responsibility What you make out of your
3:50
life is 100% your responsibility It is
3:53
not the responsibility of the stars or
3:55
the planets or the powers above It is in
3:58
your hands to create this life the way
4:00
you want it This is the fundamental of
4:03
being youthful that you are willing to
4:06
take responsibility for everything that
4:08
you are You have not become a vain life
4:12
who is looking up at the stars as to why
4:15
am I miserable why am I not successful
4:19
why am why why is my life not beautiful
4:21
you are not looking up You're willing to
4:23
look inward and seek answers That means
4:26
you are in pursuit of truth Youth must
4:30
be seekers of truth Only then they will
4:33
remain youthful If you make conclusions
4:36
if you identify with belief systems
4:38
philosophies ideologies you will become
4:40
old when you are young It's my wish and
4:43
my blessing that on this day when Swami
4:47
Viveanandha many years ago said you give
4:51
me 100 youth who are truly committed I
4:53
will change the face of this nation
4:56
Are we so important that we cannot
4:58
produce this 100
5:01
youth we must be able to produce
5:04
millions of youth who are truly
5:06
committed to know what is the truth
5:09
about our our existence What is the
5:11
truth about our success what is the
5:13
truth about our failures what is the
5:15
truth about the beautiful aspects of our
5:17
life what is the truth about the
5:19
ugliness of our life if you do not
5:22
seek then you are not a youth Don't
5:25
become old when you're young
