In plain words
4. In the little villages we must bring in a way to check bad habits, bad thoughts and bad words easily. Only then will the student who has studied, too, nourish the right qualities. Otherwise it lasts only as long as he studies; afterwards, as soon as he goes back to the village, their ways, their words, their deeds take hold of him. So the chief change in education can be this: with the children of each village who join our college, to set up a spiritual organisation in each of those villages, and to see that the villages improve, with no place for any distinction of race, faith or caste, falling prey neither to quarrels nor to feuds.
5. It is good for the teachers, once a week or once every 15 days, to gather the children, inspire them with some lofty ideals, go to their several villages and commit themselves to programmes of development. If you make fitting arrangements for it, I will come, and on the day that all of us, this February and March, go to one village after another, set up an organisation in each and make those villages model villages as they should be, on that very day we shall have let the worth of education blossom, shown it forth and made it holy.
6. For everyone, the teachers must be the example. Only then will the students follow; our college must take the very first lead in offering such lofty ideals. This must go forward not as something personal but in a way that is equal for all men.
7. Talk with the children in groups: whichever of them are keen to set up such spiritual organisations in their own villages, if fitting arrangements are made in those villages, I Myself will come in person, begin it in those villages and give the villagers fitting encouragement and support. For us to begin first in this way, in a small way, to free the villages from this demonism of politics and make them full of sāttvic feeling: that is precisely the excellence of education.
8. Once the village children have seen one or two of these, every child will be able to come forward. Along with education they need humility, and along with humility spiritual Vijñāna: these are vital. Precisely because … are lacking, though they have education, they lose, like fools, like the blind, the Jñāna of what is eternal and what passes, plunge into feuds and tumults, and ruin their very humanness. It is enough if men live as men; they must take care not to turn into demons, not to ruin society, and not to make the country the prey of an earthquake. If we do not take up action of this kind, the future of our children cannot escape fear and confusion.
9. All of you together must take due care in this matter. There is no need to force those who have no heart for it. It is enough if there are 5 or 6 who do it gladly, with śraddhā and Bhakti. If there is interest and everyone takes part, the joy is all the greater. In our organisation there must be no compulsion whatever. For you to take part in this work I will give you even a car and arrange fitting support. In this holy Saṅkrānti, honouring your enthusiasm, I am setting forth My thoughts, held for who knows how long. May you take fitting steps.
