Passage 11

In English

The cost of all items in this world is going on increasing, but the value of man is going on decreasing. Because man has not got the fortune to understand the real value of human nature, he himself is acting in a manner causing the value of a human being to come down day after day. In the very first instance, we must make an attempt to purify and ennoble the thoughts that come to our mind. When thoughts come surging to your mind, you should spend at least a few minutes enquiring whether such thoughts are good thoughts or bad ones, and whether they are for the good of your country, and whether they are going to be helpful or not to the community around you.
