Passage 42

In English

There is a reason for my talking to you on an example like this today. For our summer classes, today is the third day. For another twenty-seven days in these classes, we have to collect sufficient amount of pleasure and happiness. In your heart, in the vessel of your heart, you have to create sufficient space for gathering such good material during the next twenty seven days. Today by my talking to you at some length, I can remove all that you may have used earlier for filling the vessel of your heart and make a place so that you can fill in it the good things that will come your way. If the head is empty, you can put whatever you want to in that empty head. But if the head is filled with all kinds of things, where is the place to put anything else into the head? If the head has no place in it, how is it possible to fill it at all? It won't be possible to establish what is good in our . In order to establish and resuscitate our ancient , the students must take a vow to bring about necessary changes in their conduct. If bad ideas have already filled your head, if you have got such ears which wish to listen to bad things, if you use your eyes only to look at obscene and bad things, if you have a mind which is crooked, if you want to deceive others by your ideas and if you have a heart that can love only one person, how can good things thrive in your presence? Truth and justice must be established. Untruth and injustice must be pushed away.
