In plain words
But we, experienced in every field and on every kind of path, must stand ready, so placed that they can come to understand this way. We must become people who build a right relationship with them with calm and forbearance and give them answers. The age of students and young people is like a sea full of waves. Whatever obstacle meets it, the agitation rises. At once they express some displeasure with the teachers. Where there is no enmity at all, there is no room for forbearance. So we should think that such disturbance is helping our forbearance. So we must recognise the truth that everything is for our good.
The absence of the moral, the dhārmic and the spiritual from education is the root cause of every evil
We must also teach the students some spiritual and moral matters. We have set aside every Thursday for what we call moral classes. But this change will not come about merely through the talks given in these moral classes. Some teachers may have doubts. What are they? "If at every turn there are bhajans and sādhanas and nothing but sacred thoughts, when will the teaching of the lessons ever happen?" The doubt may also arise that instead of becoming educated they will become sannyāsīs or yogis. To become a sādhu, a sannyāsī or a yogi is not so easy. Man's nature does not change just by listening. All of you have been listening for so many years. How many have become sannyāsīs? How many have become yogis? That is not the right idea. Truly, even to become a sannyāsī would be good. We may say that sannyāsa is better than this meaningless life, than learning without such sacred feelings. Once Rajagopalachari said, "One who has no learning at all is far better than learning that does not develop and teach humility, obedience and spiritual feeling."
