Character is a destiny character is that on
which the destiny of a nation is built. One
cannot have a great nation with men of small
character. If we want to build a great nation, we
must try to train a large number of young men
and women who look upon others as the living
images of themselves; as our 'Shastras' have so
often declared. But whether in public life or in
student life, we cannot reach great heights if we
are lacking in character. We cannot climb the
mountain when the very ground at our feet is

crumbling. When the very basis of our structure
is shaky, how can we reach the height which we
have set before ourselves ? We must all have
humility ? Our lives should be clean, noble and
dedicated to the service of Mother India. Here is
a country, which we are interested in building
up for whatever service we take up, we should
not care for what we receive. We must know how
much we can put into that service. That should
be the principle which 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. We have
to represent what Hindustani has taught right
from the time of Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa.
Whether in domestic affairs or in international
affairs, we must adhere to certain standards.
