Abhinav

“मैं उनका आदर्श, कहीं जो व्यथा न खोल सकेंगे,

पूछेगा जग; किंतु, पिता का नाम न बोल सकेंगे.

जिनका निखिल विश्व में कोई कहीं न अपना होगा,

मन में लिए उमंग जिन्हें चिर-काल कलपना होगा.


'मैं उनका आदर्श, किंतु, जो तनिक न घबरायेंगे,

निज चरित्र-बल से समाज मे पद-विशिष्ट पायेंगे,

सिंहासन ही नहीं, स्वर्ग भी उन्हें देख नत होगा,

धर्म हेतु धन-धाम लुटा देना जिनका व्रत होगा.

4th Sarg from Rashmirathi”

“I had little patience with leftist groups in India, spending much of their energy in mutual conflict and recrimination over fine points of doctrine which did not interest me at all. Life is too complicated and, as far as we can understand it in our present state of knowledge, too illogical, for it to be confined within the four corners of a fixed doctrine.”
― Jawaharlal Nehru, The Discovery of India

“And yet fear builds its phantoms which are more fearsome than reality itself, and reality, when calmly analysed and its consequences willingly accepted, loses much of its terror.”
― Jawaharlal Nehru, The Discovery of India
