Imagine a world
free from worries
where all the citizens are satisfied
& lead a relaxing life.
Imagine a world
free from insecurities
where all the citizens are safe
& happy to be secured together.
Imagine a world
free from corruption
where all the citizens are truthful
& do not support wrong chores.
Imagine a world
free from poverty
where all the citizens are living in a good condition
& there is decrement in mortality rate .
Imagine a world
free from unemployment
where all the citizens are educated
& right to education is imparted in every region.
Imagine a world
free from racism
where all the citizens are equal
& there is no concept of divide & rule.
Freedom and power bring responsibility.
Nevertheless, the past is over and it is the future that beckons to us now.
That future is not one of ease or resting but of incessant striving so that we might fulfill the pledges we have so often taken and the one we shall take today. The service of India means the service of the millions who suffer. It means the ending of poverty and ignorance and disease and inequality of opportunity. The ambition of the greatest man of our generation has been to wipe every tear from every eye. That may be beyond us but so long as there are tears and suffering, so long our work will not be over.
