In plain words
Children, you are the ones who study. You are seekers of learning, not seekers of worldly things. When you … come as seekers of learning, you must not enter into worldly things. So pursue your studies fully. In your class you must pass with fine …. Give no room to unnecessary thoughts. By the time these thoughts … within, these thoughts enter into action. When they enter into action, an impression is stamped on the heart. Once this print is stamped, bad or good, its value …. A small example.
I gave you this tēlanta pure white paper. Pure white though it is, you fold that paper, take it away, put it on the table and set a weight on it. You do not care much for it. … a 3×5'' hundred-rupee note is dirty. Give you that note, and you put it in the Godrej and lock it. … you give no value to the tēlanta pure white paper, but … do you give value to this hundred-rupee note? It bears the seal of the Government Reserve Bank. Once that seal is there, … value has gone up. There is a deed registered for a piece of land or a house; if there is a stamp on it, you keep it safe. Within our heart the seal called Satya must be set. Dharma … seal must be set. The seal called Prema must be set. Only then does it gain great value. So children must be in a fit state to speak …. Satya is the life of the word. 'Satya alone is the life of the word … if truth is absent, then in this world it is a dead body. For our world, truth is life. The life of a fort is its army. Without an army it is no fort. It has no safety at all. The life of a note is …. If we write a promissory note and there is no signature, that note is of no use at all. Without a signature a note has no value. Without an army a fort is not safe. Without Satya a word has no worth. We must not speak Asatya. So we must watch our words very carefully. Even if we do not speak the truth, it does not matter; we must not speak Asatya. No truth, no Asatya: just keep quiet. 'Satyaṃ vada dharmaṃcara' … is the chief maxim of the culture of Bhārat. What is this culture? To put it simply …, way of life is culture. Our very conduct is our culture. Our practice itself is our culture … if there is no moral value, there is no culture. So students, first of all, in this kind of culture, 'Mātṛdēvō bhava, pitṛdēvō bhava, ācāryadēvō bhava, atithi dēvō bhava', must first give their parents … gratitude and make them glad.
