In plain words
4. “Nāstikatva” means that some others think that this worldly, physical life is all that matters to them and that they have no need of this fragrance called āstikatva. Such people are nāstikas. Such people cannot make out what life is. Eating, drinking, increasing their wealth and enjoying comfort: this they take to be the aim and the highest goal of life. Such a man is only a man of Māyā, not a man of Mādhava. He is a human being in shape only; he can never be a human being in substance. This is nāstikatva.
The gross body and the subtle body
For this the principles of body and mind are of some help. In a healthy body only healthy feelings grow. So we must recognise the truth that playing games and singing songs have been made for joy and health. Besides the gross body we have a subtle body. We must work for this subtle body as it needs. Those are the games by which, in the spiritual field, we join Divinity through Divinity. These games have three fruits: unity, harmony and joy. Games are essential for keeping the vessel called the body healthy and joyful. Good qualities, good sense, devotion to truth, Bhakti and doing one's duty: the chance to learn these is given to the student in these very games. These give the subtle body the joy and health it needs. Along with games, students must work to nourish good qualities. As much determination and care as you show in your games, you must develop still more determination and care on the spiritual path. All these physical kinds of learning help only the physical world. The learning that brings peace and security of mind is spiritual learning alone. This is the highest goal of life.
Three Vice-Chancellors
Our Saraf is a great devotee. For five years now you have all known him. Before he came here he went to many villages to spread Human Values in many ways, and did great service. He came here only for Swami's compassion and Prema. He did not come for a job. His chief trait is that at this age he lives the rest of his life as a holy and exemplary one, enjoys it, and gives the same to others. He is a child among children, a teacher among teachers, a devotee among devotees. It is the children's good fortune that such a person came to the university as Vice-Chancellor. Bowing to the government's rules, he has decided to retire as Vc from today. In his place has come our Sampath, a man of the same holy heart, resolved to spend the rest of his life near Swami and make his life worthwhile. From today he takes up this post. About these two, the principal of the Brindavan campus, Śrī K. Anil Kumar, will speak for a while. I must say that both of them take part in this in the spirit of service, and that the work they do is not for a salary. Both of them Work in an honorary capacity. So Sampath has given up the high and excellent posts that came his way and entered this work, resolved to shape you into exemplary students in our Institute.
