Acharya Prashant explains that one cannot love something they know very little about. A nation, at its root, is a community of people united by certain values. To truly love a nation, one must first know what those values are, those values must be worth loving, and fundamentally, those values must exist beyond being mere theoretical ideals on paper. A nation does not become admirable or lovable simply by being a nation. Some nations are founded on hatred, some exist to obliterate others, and some are based on fragile connections like a shared language or ethnicity, which are not things one can truly fall in love with. The speaker questions what the Indian nation stands for and what exactly the youth have lost love for. Do they know what the nation stands for, and do they know what is worth loving? The speaker asserts that the foundation of the Indian nation is its Vedantic foundation; its identity is essentially spiritual. He argues that the present generation has been deliberately starved of this essence, which is why they have no real feeling for the nation and are Indians only by name or passport. Their patriotism becomes shallow, identifying with superficial cultural icons like 'masala dosa' or 'Bollywood' rather than something sublime and sacred. To truly love, one needs something sublime and worth worshipping. For India, this is its spiritual identity. True Indian nationalism must be founded on the values enshrined in Vedant. When the youth lose touch with Vedant, the nation loses its inner security and begins to decay, even if it appears externally secure. As long as the youth remain in touch with the nation's spiritual essence, the nation will stay safe.
