Question: Sir, how to differentiate between these two things – being patriotic, and to not to identify with an identity?
If we say that we are patriotic to our country, this means that we are involved with an identity that is – being an Indian. So how to differentiate between them?
Speaker: Have you already decided that you need to be a patriot? If you have, then I cannot answer your question. Are you firmly rooted in this belief that being a patriot is a must? If you have already decided that, then I cannot answer your question.
Questioner: Sir, we should be patriotic?
Speaker: Have you already decided that?
Questioner: Yes Sir! (In a feeble voice)
Speaker: (Answering with a smile) Then how can we talk?
