where the whole world is united, where one expresses sincere
feelings, where one tries so reach perfection continuously, where
new ideas are not disturbed by dead tradition and where the

awake in such heaven of freedom. In the world our mind should
be fearless and we should be respected.

divided into smaller parts by the narrow conception of
nationalism. The reality should be sincerely represented. We
