You are all potential leaders of the future. Our present life needs proper sharing for a great future. Foremost thing is that you must show gratitude to your parents. Life without gratitude is worse than that of wild animals. The food we eat, the head we developed, the blood that circulates in us and the (money) we are spending– all these are due to our parents. Therefore, we are all immensely indebted to our parents. Your principal, had described Swami as, ‘King of Kings’. Not only this. Swami is your father and mother as well! When you are unable to recognise the love of one mother, then how is it possible to understand Swami’s love that is more than that of thousand mothers put together. Parents may be lacking in education, property or position, but they are certainly good and loving to you. Like the candle or like incense stick everyone must dedicate life to the society even at the cost of self-interest. Only then you are eligible to call yourself ‘man’ (ma-na-va) ma is ignorance, na means without and va means to conduct oneself. Therefore man is one who conducts himself devoid of ignorance. People give respect to educated person. But, they love the one endowed with salubrious qualities like compassion, love, tolerance, etc. All the wealth, comforts and name that one enjoys are all due to the society we live in. Therefore, one should repay this debt to society by way of selfless service. Instead of showing gratitude to those who help people, we seek to harm them unmindful of humanism and its fulfilment. This tendency degrades our status to worse than that of the animals. This is totally against the concept of education.
