In plain words
People to set right today's misery: Bhārata, home of the mineral wealth of the spirit, has today gone far from Dharma, gone far from Satya, and we are suffering with unrighteousness, wrongdoing and misconduct. Should you fall back in your studies, in higher matters or in a high standing, however much your parents grieve, Swami has a thousand times that grief. You must not stray from the path. Even your parents love you hoping for some fruit from you. But I hope for nothing. I founded these institutions with the intention that you will become ideal persons and bring good fame to Bhārata.
You know well how things are in schools and colleges. To join a kindergarten, one has to give a donation of five thousand or ten thousand for the student. Getting into today's schools and colleges is a work of great toil. The expense is very high. But in our institutions there is no trouble of any kind. We take no library fees or laboratory fees; and not only that. Keeping the future in view, we are providing many comforts. If, even while living in such a favourable atmosphere, you cannot … to a high position, that is truly unfortunate. We have a strong faith that the students alone have the ability to set right the unrest spreading in the country; you must make the effort to better yourselves and better others. If you yourselves do not become better, how can you better others? First self next help. Today, as for how the worldly outlook is, those who follow the ancient tradition of old … it is not mine, all is God's.
A small example. Once, after Śrī Rāmacandra had come from Laṅkā and His coronation had taken place, He was ruling the kingdom. One day, while He was in joy and in good cheer, Kaikeyī came to Him. Rāma, You are God Himself. Not recognising Your true nature, I have committed a great offence. I have sinned. I sent You, the embodiment of Dharma, to the dense forests. For selfishness and self-interest I made You suffer hardships. Is there any atonement for this?' she asked. Rāma, who knows all, knew everything. 'Little mother, go and bathe in the river Sarayū and come; we will talk everything over. When you go to the river Sarayū, sheep and goats will be grazing on the bank of the Sarayū. Come back after noting what they are saying,' He told her. Since He had told her to note what the sheep and goats were saying, Kaikeyī stood on the bank of the river and listened to the sounds the sheep and goats were making. They were all crying mē, mē. Rāma was waiting for Kaikeyī. 'They are crying mē, mē,' she said. Mē means mine. But what is one's own? You think everything is mine.
