Dream the impossible. Know that you are born in this world to do something wonderful and unique; don't let this opportunity pass by. Give yourself the freedom to dream and think big.
Patriotism does not mean that you are against others. You are not against anybody, but at the same time you protect your country, and work towards its development. This is Dharma.
Quotes on patriotism from Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
!1 The sign of youth is to dream, do something for your country in any field - sports, arts, literature.
!2 Own the society, the world right away, "This world belongs to you. This society belongs to you and it needs you.”
!3 Freedom indicates fearlessness. Freedom means being happy, being confident.
!4 India may have secured political freedom 74 years ago, but the freedom of thought, expression and worship has always been an integral part of her traditions since time immemorial.
!5 You have a sense of belonging with everyone and share all that you have. You have really become like a child again and that is when you have become re-public. In a spiritual sense, Republic Day is an individual phenomenon, the ultimate blossoming.
!6 The oldest living civilization of the world, she is young and vibrant in the heart where the eternal wisdom of the Vedas seamlessly coexists with science and technology.
!7 Free the country from the anguish and mental health issues the world is facing today. Bring dynamism in life. Unless you let go of laziness, become dynamic and work smart and hard, you can’t say, “I am free”.
!8 We need people to take responsibility not only for themselves but also for the larger good. To achieve this we need a spiritual revolution in the country.
!9 The motto of Satyameva Jayate (Truth Alone Triumphs) stands tall and provides the road map for a progressive and prosperous life
