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.
Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life -- think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, and this is the way great spiritual giants are produced. Others are mere talking machines.
-Swami Vivekananda
