Your country requires heroes; be heroes!

We have wept long enough. No more weeping, but stand on your feet and be men. It is a man-making religion that we want. It is man-making theories that w want. It is man-making education all round that we want. And here is the test of truth - anything that makes you weak physically, intellectually, and spiritually, reject as poison; there is no life in it, it cannot be true. Truth is strengthening. Truth is purity, truth is all knowledge.

My child, what I want is muscles of iron and nerves of steel, inside which dwells a mind of the same material as that of which the thunderbolt is made. Strength, manhood, Kshatra-Virya + Brahma - Teja.

Strength is life, weakness is death. Strength is felicity, life eternal, immortal; weakness is constant strain and misery; weakness is death.

The remedy for weakness is not brooding over weakness, but thinking of strength. Teach men of the strength that is already within them. 

Stand and die in your own strength: if there is any sin in the world, it is weakness; avoid all weakness for weakness is sin, weakness is death.

My friend, as one of your blood, as one that lives and dies with you, let me tell you that we want strength, strength,and every time strength. And the Upanishads are the great mine of strength. Therein lies strength enough to invigorate the whole world; the whole world can be vivified, made strong, energized through them.

What makes you weep, my friend? In you is all power. Summon up your all-powerful nature, O mighty one, and this whole universe will lie at your feet. It is the Self alone that predominates and not matter.
