In plain words
Morality has vanished from politics. That is why the water in the earth is drying up.
A nation's honour stands on morality; without morality a nation is ruined; a nation with morality is a true nation: listen, brave son of Bhārata!
Students! When you sing Hindi bhajans you use the word ‘tū’: ‘tū Rāmā, tū Kṛṣṇā, tū Sāī....’ ‘Tū’ is a very bad word. If you like you may sing ‘tū hai’, but do not use the word ‘tū’. In talk or in song, the words you use must be holy and respectful.
Pōtana, who drove away ‘tana’
Yesterday Rāju (chairman of the N.C.C. group) recited verses on Pōtana. What a holy heart Pōtana had! As he began writing the Bhāgavata, he spoke a fine verse.
What I speak is the Bhāgavata, it is said; the Lord who makes me speak is Rāmabhadra, it is said; what I speak takes away worldly bondage, it is said; so I shall speak: why speak any other tale?
The very name ‘Pōtana’ holds a great meaning. The one who drove away the feeling ‘tana’ is ‘Pōtana’. That is why he became a great devotee. He had faith in the principle of the Ātma, and put the worldly principle far from him. That is why Pōtana's name has stayed forever in the hearts of the people. Pōtana's son was married to Śrīnātha's daughter. Pōtana's family made its living trusting in Mother Earth and Mother Cow.
