Be Moral. Be Brave. Be a heart whole man. Strictly moral, brave unto desperation. Don’t bother your head with religious theories. Only cowards sin, brave men never; no, not even in mind. try to love anybody and everybody.
Be a man and try to make those immediately under your care, brave, moral and sympathizing. No religion for you, my children, but morality and bravery. No cowardice, no sin, no crime, no weakness-the rest will come to itself.
Everything here appears good, the people are all gentlemen, but very much Westernized; and I am so thoroughly against every affectation of the western idea.

The above write up says if you are moral then you need not afraid. How many of you would agree to this. I believe am a great fan of Vivekananda. for me he is like my friend. not physically. when ever I feel lonely, frustrated and tired I read his books. That is a different story. But am I a follower?.. If I need to follow him I must be the great person of the world. He lived simply but a great man. but me, I am living greatly but a simple person, an ordinary person.
He never believed in religion. Though I don’t like discrimination but I like my religion. that is not because of my region being great no. But may be i have not seen others. and I am customed to my policies. Even now if i have to marry someone, I prefer and definitely prefer my own religion. Because may be that I cannot get adjusted to different customs.
Yes everyone in this world are made good by god. only situation takes them in the way they are. Westernization may please few of us. but not always one culture will adjust to the other. Even now I feel if I go out of Bangalore, I may be ok for one day, two day, three day. Then my frustration level will increase. Though I may adjust but not with full heart.The basic Indian culture is really wow!… May be the moderation that happened after civilization or westernization has spoiled its essence but still the flavor we can feel in many of us.
So Gentlemen, Let not situation carry us and let us carry the situation. Let us be Brave but still Moral so that no cowardice act kindle us in anyways. Love yourself and love all.
Thanks.
