All Members,
Respected family members of this great holy Nation.
*REQUEST ALL STUDENTS, PARENTS AND TEACHERS MUST READ THIS TOPIC
**IT IS URGENT IMPORTANCE IN THE PRESENT SITUATION OF THE NATION
17. Three Important Things to Follow : - Continued
Thirdly, the last most important thing is development of a noble character.
Once this age passes, you cannot change your character,
because in young age, you are like bricks which have not yet been put inside the kiln.
The clay is still soft; you can alter the shape.
You can put upon it any Chhap (imprint).
You can mould it.
You can change it.
But once you have put a brick inside the kiln and it becomes hard, then you cannot change it.
If you try to alter the shape, it will break.
So whatever you want to do, do it in this stage.
When a plant is tender, it can be turned in any direction.
When it becomes a big tree you cannot bend it.
It will break.
So in this age, you can mould your character, you can make your behaviour, you can make your Swabhava (nature) in any way you want.
But if you wake up too late and then try to change it, you find that you cannot.
Your nature has become hard, crystallised.
Therefore, now is the time when you can give any shape.
1. Remember the greatest disease of human society is selfishness.
2. Arrogance and anger is not a sign of strength.
3. Try to learn this.
As a sign of self-control always be humble, simple and unselfish.
Let your character shine with selflessness.
Let it be endowed with simplicity, humility and forgiveness.
Study ‘Sure Ways of Success in Life’ by Swami Sivananda and ‘Self-Indulgence vs. Self-Restraint’ by Gandhiji. Let self-help, moderate living and character be your motto.
Be an ideal student.
May God bless you!
