"People often ask me; why do you narrate so many Kathas? Why do you tire your self and strain your vocal cords by reciting these kathas repeatedly? I tell them that I do so, so that individuals become virtuous, these virtuous individuals become active and these same people get united and organized to contribute constructively towards the betterment of society. This is specifically my goal. I believe, my kathas to be a medium of mass communication and I aim at achieving my goal through this medium. By virtuous people, I mean 'Sajjan' i.e. people who tread the path of truth. Such people should become active to contribute constructively to the society. When such virtuous and active people get united and organized only then can there be progress and improvement in the society. The society does not suffer as much because of bad people and their evil activities but more so because of the apathy and indifference of good people. Such people are either not active, or even when some of them are active, their efforts are not united. The reason for this is that these people think that since we are on the path of truth, why should we fear anything? They lead their own independent lives contributing nothing to society. Just think, had Gandhiji not been active and united the organized efforts of other honourable people in his support, could we have ever won our independence?
Everyone bears the burden of responsibilities of one's household. What is so new about it? Your entire life is spent in that. The day is spent in earning your livelihood and the night in either sensual pleasures or sleep. This has become your daily routine. Earning livelihood is not bad by itself. It is indeed necessary for living. But also spare your earnings and your time for good and noble causes. Contribute towards religious activities and do charity to the helpless, underprivileged, etc. But these days we get to hear from people, ""Oh, there is so much recession in the business. We have to survive only on daal-roti,"" while in fact you are savouring 'mithais'. What kind of a recession is this? Accept the situation to be the blessings of God and live happily. Spare your time to do some kind of 'seva'. Contribute constructively for the welfare of humanity in whatever form you can.
Treading on the path of truth, each individual should become moral, those virtuous individuals should become active and such active virtuous people should unite and make organized efforts to make constructive contribution to the society. Only then, will we evolve into a better nation. This is what today's society demands from us."
