In plain words
What is the reason for this? Ahaṅkāra, pride and possessiveness are the reason. These bring about man's downfall at any time. Humility and obedience are needed. That is the true essence of learning. If this humility and obedience are to come, faith in God must come. Without that faith we can achieve nothing.
Develop faith in God!
So, students! Develop faith in God. Whatever work we enter upon, we must enquire whether it is work that pleases God or whether it goes against Him. Follow the way that is good for it. It will shape your life into an ideal life. Bring a good name to the parents who bore you, to the society you live in and to the country of your birth.
Today the students of all the campuses, that is, of these four campuses, Anantapur, Bangalore, Puttaparthi and the Primary School, delighted the people wonderfully, joyfully and beautifully. To each one who took part in this sports festival we gave individual prizes according to their merit. But I have resolved to give prizes to each group as a whole. In the world they spend crores on contests in games like these. But in the institutions belonging to our Institute, not a single naya paisa was spent. With ribbons, paper and balls they gave fine displays so simply. With small things like these, things worth a single rupee, they gave joy worth thousands of rupees. Not only that: the little children are like flowers. Even the five-year-old children came by themselves, with no ayah, no teacher and no physical Instructor, and made the formation: with what intelligence they did it! They set a fine example to all the elders. Our college students brought wonder, amazement and joy.
