Passage 11

In English

Money comes and goes, morality comes and grows. What is the use of acquiring wealth and money. This will not help you at all. Students! you should not live like animals, like dogs and foxes. You should live a sacred life. The quality of good and correct education should be to respect elders and to be respected by your friends. Education should promote humility. Out of humility you will get deservedness and from deservedness, you will get wealth that you should use for propagating . Out of your education, you should acquire good qualities. If education does not make you lead a good and dharmic life, such an educated person is worse than an animal. If you have wealth and if you use it well by helping others, then you will be a good person. Even if they are physically very strong people, they will not become complete human beings unless they are good people. They may be all the time reading and doing , but that will not take them to the level of true devotees. It is the sacred feeling of oneness alone that can bring people together. A human being who has no faith or belief is worse than an animal. What do we live for? What have we come here for and what do we seek? Are not the animals also eating and sleeping? Why do we acquire university degrees? Is it just for the sake of eating and sleeping? Do not be under the proud feeling that education is only for acquiring degrees. Do not acquire degrees just for the sake of becoming a slave. True education is meant for giving peace to the country. Through your education, you should serve the community and make the people around you happy. If we want to do good to the society and to the people around you, it is most important that we have a sacred and devoted mind.
