Acharya Prashant addresses a student's dilemma regarding whether to return to India after pursuing a PhD in the United States. He begins by questioning the student's definitions of nationalism and love for the motherland, noting that many assumptions about settling abroad are based on external opinions rather than personal clarity. He challenges the notion that financial constraints or a lack of research facilities are insurmountable barriers to returning, pointing out that India is rapidly developing and that greed is often mistaken for financial necessity. He emphasizes that true contributors do not just find facilities; they create them, citing figures like Homi Jehangir Bhabha as examples of those who built institutions from the ground up. Acharya Prashant further explains that being born in a specific geography does not automatically make one a true citizen of that nation. He distinguishes between mere territorial attachment, which is an animalistic instinct, and genuine love, which requires a deep understanding of what a nation represents. He suggests that India is not defined by its population or borders but by its core values and wisdom. If one truly understands and values what India stands for, the decision to serve it becomes clear, regardless of geographical location. He concludes by distinguishing between a migrant seeking better financial opportunities and a missionary who travels the world for a higher purpose, urging the student to reflect on his true motivations.
