Bhagwat Say Secularism Doesn’t Fit India, The Constitution Debate Gets a New Chapter

Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh- Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Friday, September 18, cautioned young people against becoming consumed by ego, saying that the belief that everything is under one’s control and should happen according to personal wishes is a misconception. Speaking at the Yuva Dharma Sansad in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, Bhagwat urged young people to recognise the limits of individual control and avoid assuming that the world revolves around their expectations. Even If You Don’t Believe in the Sun Explaining his point, Bhagwat referred to the daily movement of the Sun as an example of realities that exist independently of individual beliefs. Take the example of the Sun. Even if you do not believe in the Sun, it will still rise and set, he said. Through the example, Bhagwat highlighted that personal opinions and wishes do not determine how the world operates. His remark focused on the importance of humility and recognising that not every situation can be controlled or changed according to one preferences. A Message on Ego and Personal Responsibility Bhagwat remarks placed ego and unrealistic expectations at the centre of his message to young people. The RSS chief cautioned against the assumption that personal desires should dictate outcome, encouraging a broader understanding of one place in the world. The address at the Yuva Dharma Sansad brought attention to themes of humility, self awareness and the limits of individual control. While the Sun may rise and set without waiting for anyone approval, Bhagwat broader message was that young people should not confuse personal wishes with control over reality. The takeaway- Not everything happens according to our wishes and sometimes, even the Sun refuses to take instructions.
