In plain words
I hope that such people will flourish in large numbers in Bhārata and spread to other countries.
If you do not cultivate holy feelings at this young age, while you are students, great hardships will come in the life ahead. So it is said: start early, drive slowly, reach safely. Man thinks that this body, blood, skin and muscle are life. But within it there is a power called the Manas. There is the Ātma, which restrains this Manas. So
you are not one person but three. the one you think you are the one others think you are the one you really are.
Whatever work we do, we must step forward to do it purely, with Prema and joyfully. For that, we must grasp that duty without love is deplorable, love without duty is divine, duty with love is desireble. Whatever work a man does, if he does it gladly, true Ānanda comes. We must recognise the Satya that it does not come from doing what we like.
This city of Delhi is the centre, the navel, of Bhārata. It is the navel of every field as well. It is the home of the moral, spiritual, material and political fields. We must see that this city of Delhi becomes an ideal, by right service in the spiritual and educational fields. The leaders of every field live here. If the leaders are in the right state, the followers will be right. Students must not swagger that they are students, but must do their own work themselves. They must push aside pride, possessiveness and selfishness, and do their work with humility. The students are the very ones who will uplift the Bhārata of the future. If they follow the good path, the country will be on the right path. Especially in the city of Delhi, we must found model schools and make changes and additions in the field of education, so that students lead ideal lives. The cause of the injustices that have broken out among the people today is the lack of the moral, spiritual and dhārmic principle. So we must bring in such holy learning through moral classes and see that humility grows in students, as the saying goes, ‘Learning bestows humility’. We must bring into the students the precepts ‘Let your mother be God to you, your father be God to you, your teacher be God to you, your guest be God to you’, and teach them first to honour their parents. If today you please your parents, your children will please you. That is why, in every act, we cannot escape reaction, resound and reflection. I hope that teachers and students will develop Prema and be ideal.
Good and bad alike come to men only through contact. The worthless thread in a garland joins the precious flowers and adorns everyone's neck. No one wears thread on the head or round the neck. Through contact with the flowers, the thread gains so high a place. No one worships a boulder on a hill. But through the sculptor's contact and resolve, people worship and adore it. Every day we see many rats. As soon as we see them we catch them and kill them. When such a rat becomes Vināyaka's mount, people adore it. When we see a snake we kill it. But when they see that same snake on Śiva, they adore it. The cause of that power is nothing but contact with God. Contact is what lifts a thing of low standing to a high standing. In the same way bad contact brings about evil. One drop of poison spoils a whole potful of milk. Fire, an adored deity in the homa pit and elsewhere, joins base iron and falls under the blows of the hammer. Such a downfall comes from bad contact alone. On this very ground,
In good company, non-attachment; in non-attachment, freedom from delusion; in freedom from delusion, the unmoving principle; in the unmoving principle, liberation while living.
All the sorrows, cares and unrest in the world do not lack a cause. Others are not the cause of man's despair and dejection. It is our own fault of sight, fault of speech and fault of hearing. What does man gain if his eyes forever see the faults of others? Your tongue is forever busy with nothing but uttering the faults of others. What is gained by reciting them? What is gained by listening to the faults of others? Through this your senses become impure and full of faults. As the feeling, so the becoming: whatever one sees outside, those very feelings arise. So those who are blind, deaf and dumb to the faults of others are the good ones. We must recognise the divinity in others. We must use the divine tongue to utter the holy Name of Rāma. But not to repeat the faults of others. In the same way, we must take in beauty with our eyes, with a divine sight. If forms and their distortions are set before your sight, you must make of them the true form. That is why Prahlāda,
If one does not worship Śiva till the hands are content, if one does not tell of Hari's glory till the mouth aches, if one does not hold kindness and truth and the like in mind, why be born, to the ruin of the mother's womb?
