In English
Do not entertain imaginary aspirations
Students of today are the victims of several kinds of desires. No sooner does a student step into the college than he thinks of getting his degree immediately and going abroad for higher studies. You should not give room to such fanciful desires which will sap your mental powers. During your stay in the college, concentrate whole-heartedly on your studies. Don't entertain all sorts of unrealistic and imaginary aspirations. What is supremely important is the present. Whenever undesirable feelings like anger, hatred, jealously etc., raise their ugly heads in you, crush them down forthwith. For instance, when somebody criticises or abuses you, you will get angry immediately. But you should not react to such things on the spur of the moment. You must coolly reflect thus: "Am I having in me any defects which he has pointed out? In case these defects are in me, will it not be a mistake on my part to criticise or abuse him in retaliation? Suppose there are no defects at all in me, then why should I get angry?" When you reflect like this, your anger will leave at once and you will become calm and cool.
