Greatest ability as humans is not to change the world, but to change ourselves
M Ahmad
On October 2, 1869, a notable figure was born, a hero who never appeared on screen because he was a real-life hero, who gained reputation and recognition solely because of his beliefs and ideas he created. His difficulties and hardships are a significant part of our fight for freedom.
Presently, the young people of India are experiencing a number of difficulties. After 75 years of being independent, young people have become more lost in terms of morals, ethics, social behavior, and spiritual beliefs. The feeling of not having a clear goal is decreasing compared to what it was before independence. They feel isolated and upset. There are numerous causes (both from within and from outside sources) for feeling frustrated and lacking purpose. Mostly young individuals rely on their friends and sometimes are influenced in the wrong direction. They use drugs, alcohol, and watch mature content to pass the time and cope with their emotional pain. Young individuals are also influenced by the emphasis on wealth and lavish lifestyles in today's society, and they seek out quick ways to obtain material possessions. When they are unable to succeed, they may turn to drugs or crime. Young people can also become addicted to excessive use of digital devices. Technology is very helpful for most people, but using too much cyber tools has become a big problem. Sometimes, using them too much can even be dangerous. Excessive use of mobile phones has not just caused physical harm to young people, but it has also impacted their mental capacity and psychological well-being. Some of them are engaging in internet crimes. To solve these problems, the principles of Gandhi's philosophy are most suitable for today's situation and should be upheld by the younger generation. The viewpoint of living a healthy and virtuous lifestyle according to Gandhi may seem simple, but it is actually very effective and enduring in the long term. Young people may naturally find these values unattractive, but it's important for older people, educators, and especially parents to teach them to embrace these values.
Dealing with intolerance and violence, they are two sides of the same coin. Mahatma Gandhi successfully preached honesty, satyagraha and peace during India's struggle for independence. These events have inspired great people in the world, including Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela. Their life is a testimony of their true will and their courage to do what they want. Therefore, the youth of India should be motivated and learn how to deal with intolerance and violence in a peaceful manner. Today's youth should lead their lives and work hard for the nation while writing India's success story. Mahatma Gandhi rightly said, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in service to others.” With intelligence and creativity, the youth of the country should chart the way for India's development, and give impetus to the music movement for the local people to focus on. In other words, it's not just about achieving a goal at any cost. According to Gandhiji, saving more than necessary is a form of theft. Therefore, to check hedonism in the society, the youth should be given the value of Gandhian Samthista. It includes tenacity, perseverance, defiance, spirit and a spirit of sacrifice. Gandhiji believed that education should have value and purpose. He always defended real education and national education. True knowledge creates a balanced mindset that requires good development of the body, mind and spirit. This educational principle of Gandhi can help to solve this kind of inequality, maybe not completely, but to a large extent. Requirements at the national and local level. In this context, Gandhiji insisted on imparting vocational training to the youth so that through these trainings they would be self-sustaining and training related to work experience. Vocational education gives people the necessary skills and helps to solve the problem of unemployment, especially in rural areas. This helps to create the Bharat Atmanibhar, in yourself.
He urged the youth to ensure equal care and safety for all. Economic inequality, which involves the concentration of wealth and income in the hands of the few, is the root cause of political instability and social inequality. He also advocated the elimination of discrimination, human activities, gender discrimination to restore peace. To him, not touching is a sin. One of those evils that plagued society was a sin not only against man but against God. Unity and equality are the main values that people rely on. He said about justice, there is a close relationship between equality and justice. Young people need to know that justice comes when there is equality, and justice comes when there is equality. It is natural justice or God who ensures the balance of the world through young players. Justice is a cultural concept that depends on socially accepted norms, expectations and norms that society creates for the common good.
The most important thing for the youth is to spread the light of justice and understanding. Gandhiji also said that each of us should strive for excellence both at the individual level and at the social level. He asked the youth to follow this value unconditionally. This not only ensures the overall development of the individual, but also the progress of the entire society. Young people are very lively, energetic, motivated and capable of success, if they stay on the right path. Therefore, the youth of India should remember the words of Mahatma Gandhi who said: “Your faith will be your opinion. Your thoughts are your words. Your words are your actions. What you do becomes what you do. Your habits are your habits. Your values will be your destiny.”
Thus on all fronts Gandhiji believed in creating from youth a cadre of inspiring and competent role models and change agents with the courage of conviction who in turn will trigger off the process of building a healthy nation. There are thousands of inspirational quotes about Gandhiji that not only teach but also inspire us, nothing is impossible, we just have to think and believe, to be strong with yourself. Regardless of whether you are in any age group. If we teach our child to tell the truth from the beginning, it can develop this habit in him, and a good habit will be appreciated.
“Strength does not come from winning. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.”……………Mahatma Gandhi
