Passage 19

In English

Students should take great care to see that they do not waste food. They should take only what they need and not waste anything. This is the greatest service that they can do for the country. Everything should have a limit. To exceed these limits is very harmful. If you eat too much, that will cause mental derangement. If you eat sufficient food, it is good. You should not waste food, and you should share your excess food with others. If today we want to rectify the economic problems of the country, then you should prevent wastage of food; and you will be able to add to the economy of the country. Truly, the boys and girls who have listened to these sacred ideals should remember them all their lives. It is not enough if you just listen to them and then refrain from putting them into practice. These ideals should be carried by you all through your life, and you should put them into practice.
