In plain words
Travel on the good path and become good people. Now, if the people of the world are to be turned to the good path, it can be done only through the children of the Sathya Sai College. All our students are like gold. What kind of gold? Not adulterated gold; they are like gold of 24 carats. Wherever they go, they earn a good name in games, in speech, in studies, in conduct. I hear people praising them: ‘The Sai Baba College children are very good.’ It is enough to look at our children: Sai Baba can be seen in their faces. On the nineteenth of this month the Atirudra Yāga begins in Madras. The people there: “Sai Baba's students are coming, we hear. We must see them. They are our ideal”: so they are waiting eagerly. Yesterday you saw the drama ‘Bhakta Prahlāda’. It moved everyone's mind deeply. It is impossible to describe how sweet and joyful were the words that Prahlāda spoke. They went straight to the heart and clung there. Be good yourselves, and give others a good mind. Take care that lust, anger and such vices do not come near you.
The Pāṇḍavas' minds were very pure
Today our children are going to stage the play ‘Kṛṣṇa the Envoy’. The wicked Kauravas went on tormenting the Pāṇḍavas in so many ways. But the Pāṇḍavas' minds were very pure. They tried their utmost to do good to the Kauravas. Take one small example to know how pure their nature was. The aged Kuntī Devī breathed her last the moment she heard the news of Kṛṣṇa's passing. Dharmaja, the eldest son, who was there at the time, laid her head on his lap. All four, Bhīma, Arjuna, Nakula and Sahadeva, gathered round. “My dear ones! Kṛṣṇa, who protected us in every way, has left this world.
