In plain words
If they had truly come for Swami, why should they not notice the condition of the students, the hardships and sufferings they go through? Then this Bioscience Department is worse still. Sitting in a dark room cutting up frogs, fish and snakes, they are sunk in that very stench. They neither give these students proper guidance nor change them at all to suit this atmosphere. All they want is that the students get degrees. That they get jobs. Is it really this degree that we want? Was it to turn them into beggars, carrying this begging bowl from office to office saying, ‘Sir, a job for me, a job,’ that we started this Institute? The students must rely on their own strength. They must stand on their own feet. They must see that education is for life, and not see it as something for making a living. The teachers must make them recognise this truth. Only when teachers mix with these students from dawn until evening can they understand their condition well. Today the teachers have no control over a single student. Each goes his own way. If it goes on like this, it is of no use at all to this Institute. Only when some proper discipline is set for it can it come to the right state. For a long time I had kept these things in my mind. But now I have said them. I called the teachers one by one and told them a hundred times. Even so, because there has been no change at all in them, today I have had to say it openly. The wonder is that each of them thinks, “There is no fault of ours in this.” If there were no fault, why would this smell come? Anantapur is sixty miles from here. Has any officer camped there and looked into how things are with them? Whatever they need, a phone call? The girls come, plead with these men, and go back the way they came: is this the authority we should be using? Why should you not go there yourselves, see how things are and solve the problems?
