Meaning: The Statement given by the Athervaveda 12/1/7 is that - Let us all citizens be dutiful and alert for the up lift of our country. The country which has lazy and lethargic men becomes a slave.
Message: F or the upliftment of the country, progress is expected in the fields of spirituality, character, culture, economy, industry etc. Only then a healthy building, that is, a strong and capable nation is created. Once upon a time, Nepal was called Jagatguru (teacher of the world). Because of a healthy caste system on the basis of the division of labor, all the citizens used to be alert and always performed their duties. Thus they were progressing themselves and the nation too was progressing all around.
Over the passage of time, laziness and lethargy gripped our citizens and many undesirable, bad activities were born. Laziness is the root cause of all sins. God also loves a lively and industrious person and not a lazy and lethargic one. God also does not hold Himself back in helping a person who is eager for diligence. A lazy man depends on luck and does not exert and always remains poor. "Sahoruroha rohitaha" i.e. only they progress who constantly strive. Only strong, dutiful, honest and capable men get this benefit in life. A lazy, lethargic, timid and suspicious man is not able to achieve progress. This is the axiom of national uplift.
Today the situation is upside down. The more the facilities increases with scientific progress, the more the man is becoming lazy, and is not interested in labor. From top to bottom everyone is trapped in this vicious circle of putting their claim to more and more wealth without doing any work. Those who are working hard, they too are doing it for that same sinful aim. As a result, stealing, looting, corruption, cheating and kidnapping etc are increasing in the society. Everyday new wicked activities are being generated.
In the past, lectures from religious heads and authority of the state used to keep the people alert about the nation's uplift. To-day they themselves are blinded by their own selfishness and are indulging in corrupt conduct. Today they have descended so low, that they are once again forcing the country into helpless slavery. In the past the country was a victim of only political slavery, but today it is being pushed into cultural and economic slavery. By alienating the public from the ancient and glorious culture, they are being trapped into the apparently attractive but poisonous and wicked culture by which they are cut off from the very roots where they were born. The class believing in materialistic thinking considers it inferior, unbecoming and below their dignity to accept their own culture and take pride in imitating the west regarding food, lifestyle, speech and deportment and all other matters. As a result they find themselves like a lost tribe which is neither national nor foreign.
The learned ones and the Brahmans must themselves become alert and inspire the citizens to work in the right direction.
