It may be an ardent wish of everyone who follows the Juche idea to meet President Kim Il Sung, the founder of the immortal Juche idea.

The ardent wish of mine came true during my visit to the DPRK.

How eagerly I have longed for this day.

For a long time I have indulged in reading many books written by progressive thinkers with determination to devote my life to social activities.

During those days I felt sympathy toward some ideas. However, I failed to find in any books a correct way for social emancipation of human being.

It was one day ten years ago when I read a book written about the great Juche idea.

I was fascinated by validity and truthfulness of the Juche idea. I became convinced that only the Juche idea is the sole guiding ideology of our times that illuminates the most correct road for human emancipation. I discovered the truth of the genuine revolution I had been eager to do, in the Juche idea.

At that time I felt as if I had found an oasis in the desert. My happiness was indescribable.

Since then I have fostered a big aim of studying and learning after the Juche idea.

I formed a Youth Group for the Study of Kimilsungism with my friends sharing the same will and began to study and disseminate the Juche idea with it as my supreme duty.

It was a turning point that led me, who had been groping in the dark, to the road for a genuine life. While studying the Juche idea, I deeply understood its greatness, vitality and truthfulness and made my mind to follow the road indicated by the Juche idea.

Keeping deep in mind the boundless reverence for Kim Il Sung who founded the great revolutionary theory and the ardent wish of meeting him, I have devoted my all to our sacred work till this day.

Kim Il Sung received us as if he had read my mind. I could not describe my emotion and happiness.

We planted a young pine-nut tree on Mangyong Hill with firm resolution to hold Kim Il Sung in high esteem, follow the Juche idea and struggle for the global victory in the Juche idea. In order to follow the road of Juche invariably like the ever-green pine-nut tree…(This article was written in 1982 by Surrinder Singh, chief of Indian Youth Group for the Study of Kimilsungism.)
