In plain words
All they worry about is that Swami did not come to the children's sports, did not come to watch. It is not I alone. If I come, the devotees of every country who are staying in Prasanthi Nilayam come in there with me. If they all see the games our students play, it will look very laughable. Because the games are organised without any management at all, the honour of your Institute too will be lost when they see them. It was to protect that honour that I stayed away. The Institute's honour may mean nothing to some. But could it mean nothing to me? It is something that lasts for ever. So it was to guard that honour that I could not come here. There are only three colleges! If you cannot look after just three colleges with care, how will you maintain three hundred colleges? I came gladly and opened the meet. First the primary school children came. As they marched, it looked as though soldiers were marching past. Seeing that sight gave me great joy. Little by little that joy went on shrinking. But the number of children went on growing. At the very end our Institute's students came. Seeing them, I had to hang my head. What was the reason? They do not even know how to march. They walk just as old people walk. They walk like people with sores. Is that really a sight we should have to see! In the Anantapur college they are all women! Yet how well they organised it! To me all are equal! To tell the truth, there is little unity among women. Even though that is their nature, how well all the teachers did in organising it together, as one, and how fine their displays were! Each one took up a part. Each one took up a responsibility. Their display struck everyone with wonder. It drew everyone's heart. Everyone's joy overflowed.
