“Message to the Future (1959) - Bertrand Russel

“I should like to say two things, one intellectual and one moral. The intellectual thing I should want to say is this: When you are studying any matter, or considering any philosophy, ask yourself only what are the facts and what is the truth that the facts bear out. Never let yourself be diverted either by what you wish to believe, or by what you think would have beneficent social effects if it were believed. But look only, and solely, at what are the facts. That is the intellectual thing that I should wish to say.

The moral thing I should wish to say… I should say love is wise, hatred is foolish. In this world which is getting more closely and closely interconnected we have to learn to tolerate each other, we have to learn to put up with the fact that some people say things that we don’t like. We can only live together in that way and if we are to live together and not die together we must learn a kind of charity and a kind of tolerance which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet.”

“The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.”
― Bertrand Russell

“નવકાર નવકાર તું મારો ભાઈ, તારી ને મારી ઘણી સગાઇ. અંધકારે તું યાદ આઓ જો, મારો તું ભાવના શૂળ રાખ જે સાચા ને સીધી, જૂથ ને મિચમિ દુઃખદમ.

Navkar navkar tu Maro bhai,
Tari ne mari ghani sagai.
Andhkare tu yaad aao jo,
Maro tu bhavna shud rakh je
Sacha ne sidhi,
jutha ne michami dukhdam.

Those who understand the highest potential of life and are aligned to that path,
I hold kinship with you, you are my brothers.
In the darkest times, please come back to me.
Keep my feelings pure, keep my interests pure.
Those who are with truth, may you be blessed with more capacity.
Those who are with untruth, I wish upon you that any evil that befalls, that it comes to naught."
