Following are the writings of Bhagat Singh, from Page 124 of his prison notebook:

“The aim of life is no more to control the mind, but to develop it harmoniously; not to achieve salvation here after, but to make the best use of it here below; and not to realize truth, beauty and good only in contemplation, but also in-the actual experience of daily life; social progress depends not upon the ennoblement of the few but on the enrichment of democracy; universal brotherhood can be achieved only when there is an equality of opportunity - of opportunity in the social, political and individual life.”

Bhagat Singh Amar Rahe! Sukhdev Amar Rahe! Rajguru Amar Rahe!
