He noted the prevalence of vices like immorality, addiction, and violent tendencies among the youth. Expressing his dismay, he remarked that merely providing material comforts does not lead to true happiness. Maharaj emphasised the urgency to uplift the intellectual and moral fabric of society.
Maintaining optimism amid challenges – Words of encouragement
During the conversation, Dr Bhagwat expressed, “You hear from people, and we also speak. However, the concern is that we are all continuing to act, you are also doing so, and discussions are increasing. We will make efforts; there will never be despair because living is for this, and death is also a part of it. But what will happen, this worry comes to the mind, in my mind, and in everyone’s mind.”
Responding to this, Prem Anand Maharaj stated, “The answer to this is straightforward – do we not have trust in Bhagwan Krishna? We need to grasp what special thing we have to hold on to. Do we lack faith in Bhagwan Krishna? If trust is firm, then that will be what is called ‘param mangalmay’ – ultimate auspiciousness. It will be supremely auspicious. No steps backward. We know our spiritual strength. No steps backward… We know our essence; therefore, we should not fear what will happen. The three types of divine plays are happening – creation, sustenance, and dissolution… At the time, as the order will be, we are His servants, and we will do just that. What will happen… it will be what Bhagwan Krishna has ordained. No doubt now. Just as Bhagwan Krishna has prepared His people. Another one will also be prepared similarly, who will handle it with great strength. You do not have to worry about what will happen. Bhagwan Krishna is with us; it will be what is auspicious.”
