Even as a physician of the indigenous medical system first purges a patient of all impurities before commencing the treatment,the people of India,which is now beset with problems,should first be reformed and then exposed to the message of the vedanta contained in the Upanishads,the Bhagavad gita and the teachings of Ramakrishna and Vivekananda.This will make them heroic and enable them to develop character.
Other nations too experience worse problems of extreme materialism and some kind of inexplicable despondency and lack of genuine love even between man and wife.People all over the world look to Indian Philosphy for guidance.The srutis explain eternal truths and remain authoritative statements for all the time.The smiritis are like coins of a previous regime not recognised by subsequent rulers.India can claim that its Vedanta is based on human dignity.The message therein provides the inner strength making a person adopt a positive attitude.For this, a proper technique in unfolding the dormant energy should be adopted.
Swami Ranganadananda pointed out in a lecture that the stirring words of Vivekananda could take it to great heights but was in the same plight as that of a man seated on the banks of the Ganga and yet seeking water to quench his thirst.For all its maladies India has the remedy.Not only the external but the inner personality of individuals should be developed.
