In plain words
You know how many troubles Kaikeyī fell into in the Rāmāyaṇa because she yielded to the words of her maid Mantharā. That is why the ‘servant’ must be kept as a ‘servant’; the ‘master’ must always remain the ‘master’. Master the mind, be a mastermind. That itself is the true mark of a student.
Do not waste money on show
Simple living and high thinking: this is precisely what I teach. Students must lead a simple life and hold lofty ideals. Along with study, refinement too is important. What does refinement mean? Refinement is that which brings purity. But in the name of a ‘simple life’ you must not give room to uncleanliness. Each one must do his own work himself. All the training you are given is for this very purpose. You must wash your clothes yourselves. You must wash your plates yourselves. You must not put your duty on someone else's head. You must do your duty. You must lead a simple life without causing trouble to anyone else. You must keep clean the places where you live and the places where you keep your books. For this you must not expect ‘servants’ to come specially and clean. Your parents send money at great pains and have you educated. Should they send you ‘servants’ too? I say now and then: “The vegetables bought cost two annas, the porter a quarter rupee.... this is our civilisation now.” Do we pay the porter more for carrying the vegetables than they cost?! You must not waste money on such show. Misuse of money is evil. To misuse money is a great sin! Your parents pour out their blood to earn money for you. You must look on that money as their ‘blood’. Spend money thriftily and pursue higher education. Today many students, the moment some degree comes into their hands, are eager to go abroad. What it costs to go abroad! Having spent so much and gone there, what is it they do?
