The late Swami Vireswaranandaji, President of the Ramakrishna Math and Mission, though a nonagenarian, was very youthful in spirit and took active interest in all youth movements. In this booklet is the English translation of his stirring appeal to the youth to rebuild India. This message in Bengali was distributed as a booklet on the occasion of the first National Youth Day celebrated on 12 January 1985 at the Belur Math, the headquarters of the Ramakrishna Order.
Discriminate within yourself between the real and the unreal. Have you not read the Vedanta? Even when you sleep, keep the sword of discrimination at the head of your bed, so that covetousness cannot approach you even in dream. Practicing such strength, renunciation will gradually come, and then you will see the portals of heaven are wide open to you.
-Swami Vivekananda
