Servitude is painful and<br \/>\nintolerable, servitude is killing the nation by inches, servitude must be got rid of, true; but the pains and evils of servitude<br \/>\nseem almost more tolerable to a good many people than the sharp, salutary pangs of a resolute struggle for liberty. Hence the<br \/>\nnot uncommon cry, &#8220;The violent and frequently bloody methods followed by other nations are not suited to a gentle, spiritual and<br \/>\nlaw-abiding people; we will vindicate our intellectual originality and spiritual superiority by inventing new methods of regeneration much more gentlemanly and civilised.&#8221; The result is a hydra-brood of delusions, two springing up where one is killed.<br \/>\nThe old gospel of salvation by prayer was based on the belief in the spiritual superiority of the British people,\u2014 an illusion<br \/>\nwhich future generations will look back upon with an amazed incredulity. God answers prayer and the British people are godlike in their nature; so why should we despair? Even now there are prominent politicians who say and perhaps believe that although there is no historical example of a nation liberated by petition and prayer, yet the book of history is not closed and<br \/>\nthere is no reason why so liberal and noble a nation as the British should not open a new and unprecedented chapter; a<br \/>\nmiracle which never happened before in the world&#8217;s records may very well be worked for the sole and particular benefit of<br \/>\nIndia! The petitionary delusion, however, though not yet killed, has been scotched; its lease of life is not for long.<br \/>\n &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\" style=\"text-indent: 0pt;line-height: 150%;margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0\">\n<span lang=\"en-gb\" style=\"vertical-align: top\">&nbsp;<br \/>\n\t<\/span> <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" style=\"text-indent: 0pt;line-height: 150%;margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0\">\n\t<span lang=\"en-gb\" style=\"vertical-align: top\"><br \/>\n\t<font face=\"Times New Roman\" color=\"#000000\" size=\"2\">Page \u2013 236<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p align=\"justify\" style=\"text-indent: 25pt;line-height: 150%;margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0\">\n<span lang=\"en-gb\" style=\"vertical-align: top\">Another delusion of which Babu Narendranath Sen of the<br \/>\n<i>Indian Mirror<\/i>, and the cultured and eloquent lady whom the Mahatmas have placed at the head of the new Theosophist<br \/>\nChurch, are the principal exponents, asks us to seek our regeneration through religion; only when we have become religiously<br \/>\nand morally fit, can we hope to be politically free. In spite of the confusion of ideas which underlies this theory, it is one which has<br \/>\na natural charm for a religiously-minded people. Nevertheless it is as much a thing in the air as the petitionary delusion. If<br \/>\nby religion is meant the <i>nivritti-marga <\/i>it is an absurdity to talk of politics and religion in the same breath; for it is the path<br \/>\nof the few,\u2014 the saints and the elect\u2014 to whom there is no I nor thou, no mine or thine, and therefore no my country or thy<br \/>\ncountry. But if we are asked to perfect our religious development in the <i>pravritti-marga<\/i>, then it is obvious that politics is as much<br \/>\na part of <i>pravritti-marga <\/i>as any other activity, and there is no rationality in asking us to practise religion and morality first and<br \/>\npolitics afterwards; for politics is itself a large part of religion and morality. We acknowledge that nothing is likely to become<br \/>\nan universal and master impulse in India which is not identified with religion. The obvious course is to recognise that politics is<br \/>\nreligion and infuse it with the spirit of religion; for that is the true patriotism which sees God as the Mother in our country,<br \/>\nGod as Shakti in the mass of our countrymen, and religiously devotes itself to their service and their liberation from present<br \/>\nsufferings and servitude. We do not acknowledge that a nation of slaves who acquiesce in their subjection can become morally fit<br \/>\nfor freedom; one day of slavery robs a man of half his manhood, and while the yoke remains, he cannot compass a perfect and<br \/>\nrounded moral development. Under a light and qualified subjection, he may indeed develop in certain directions; but in what<br \/>\ndirection are we asked to develop? In the morality of the slave, the Shudra, whose<br \/>\n<i>dharma <\/i>is humility, contentment, service,<br \/>\nobedience? In the morality of the merchant whose <i>dharma <\/i>is to amass riches by honesty and enterprise and spend them with liberal philanthropy? In the morality of the Brahmin whose <i>dharma<\/i> is to prepare himself for the<br \/>\n<i>nivritti-marga <\/i>by learning and holy<br \/>\n &nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>\n\t<\/span> <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\" style=\"text-indent: 25pt;line-height: 150%;margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0\">\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" style=\"text-indent: 0pt;line-height: 150%;margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0\">\n\t<span lang=\"en-gb\" style=\"vertical-align: top\"><br \/>\n\t<font face=\"Times New Roman\" color=\"#000000\" size=\"2\">Page \u2013 237<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p align=\"justify\" style=\"text-indent: 0pt;line-height: 150%;margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0\">\n\t<span lang=\"en-gb\" style=\"vertical-align: top\">exercises, to forgive injuries and accept honour or insult, wrong<br \/>\nand injustice, with a calm and untroubled mind? It is obvious that we may develop far on these lines without coming at all<br \/>\nnearer to moral fitness for freedom. Politics is the work of the Kshatriya and it is the virtues of the Kshatriya we must develop<br \/>\nif we are to be morally fit for freedom. But the first virtue of the Kshatriya is not to bow his neck to an unjust yoke but to protect<br \/>\nhis weak and suffering countrymen against the oppressor and welcome death in a just and righteous battle.<br \/>\n\t<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\" style=\"text-indent: 25pt;line-height: 150%;margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0\">\n\t<span lang=\"en-gb\" style=\"vertical-align: top\">A third delusion to which the over-intellectualised are subject is the belief in salvation by industrialism. One great danger<br \/>\nof the commercial aspect of the Swadeshi movement is that many of our young men may be misled into thinking that their true<br \/>\nmission is to go abroad, study industries and return to enrich themselves and their country. We would warn them against this<br \/>\npernicious error. This work is an admirable work and a necessary part of the great national<br \/>\n<i>yajna <\/i>which we have instituted; but<br \/>\nit is only a part and not even the chief part. Those who have never studied Japanese history, are fond of telling our young men<br \/>\nthat Japan owes her greatness to her commercial and industrial expansion and call on them to go and do likewise. Commercial<br \/>\nand industrial expansion are often accompaniments and results of political liberty and greatness,\u2014 never their cause. Yet the<br \/>\nopposite belief is held by many who should have been capable of wiser discrimination. We find it in the truly marvellous address<br \/>\nof Srinath Paul Rai Bahadoor at Berhampur; there is a wonderful contrast between the canine gospel of submissive loyalty<br \/>\npreached in the first part of the address and the rampageously self-assertive gospel of economic independence preached in its<br \/>\ntail-end. &#8220;Whatever the advantages of political advancement, they sink into insignificance when compared with the blessings<br \/>\nwhich industrial prosperity brings in its train,&#8221;\u2014 such is the gospel according to Srinath Paul Rai Bahadoor. It is so far shared<br \/>\nby many less loyal people that they consider industrial prosperity as prior to and the cause of political advancement. The idea<br \/>\nis that we must be rich before we can struggle for freedom. History does not bear out this peculiar delusion. It is the poor<br \/>\n &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" style=\"text-indent: 0pt;line-height: 150%;margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0\">\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" style=\"text-indent: 0pt;line-height: 150%;margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0\">\n\t<span lang=\"en-gb\" style=\"vertical-align: top\"><br \/>\n\t<font face=\"Times New Roman\" color=\"#000000\" size=\"2\">Page \u2013 238<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p align=\"justify\" style=\"text-indent: 0pt;line-height: 150%;margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0\">\n\t<span lang=\"en-gb\" style=\"vertical-align: top\">peoples who have been most passionately attached to liberty,<br \/>\nwhile there are many examples to show that nothing more easily leads to national death and decay than a prosperous servitude.<br \/>\nWe are particularly thankful that British rule has not, like the Roman, given us industrial prosperity in exchange for political<br \/>\nindependence; for in that case our fate would have been that of the ancient peoples of Gaul and Britain who, buying civilisation<br \/>\nand prosperity with the loss of their freemanhood, fell a prey to the Goth and Saxon and entered into a long helotage from which<br \/>\nit took them a thousand years to escape.
