All Members,
Respected family members of this great holy Nation.
Part-1.
A.
1. Even though the immediate and the direct function of the human heart is to maintain the circulation of the blood in the human body, it is also responsible for collecting the impure blood, purifying it and sending it back again into circulation.
2. In case the aorta is not bringing in fresh supplies of blood, and in case the pulmonary artery is not draining the heart of its impure contents, the very heart must soon stop functioning.
3. Poisoned by its contents, it will die.
B.
1. The heart of a Nation, which has a spiritual culture, is its religion, built upon its ancient scriptures.
2. If religion were not to function as the cultural heart of a Nation, as an institution, it has no justification.
3. At best, it can be only an organized system of dangerous superstitions efficiently playing upon the weak conscience of a credulous public.
4. And whenever any religion has sunk into such a low vocation, the thinking men of the generation have always walked out of that religion, to wander aimlessly for a time, through the blind alleys of skepticism, atheism, pessimism, secularism, communism and even cynicism.
5. But the history of man tells us, that in time the pendulum of life swings back in its own rhythm, and in its sweep throws up a great leader who comes to prescribe for his age a new interpretation of life which is nothing but a renaissance of the very old religion.
