Dear Parents, Children, and Teachers,


--------------------------------------------------------------

MESSAGE TO STUDENTS : 1.

O Children of Immortality!
In brief I wish to give you the essence of your culture, the ancient message which your ancestors have given to you, especially to the young and especially to the students. I want to tell you very clearly that the need of the students and young people was well known to our great sages of
wisdom. And so they gave a due place to the young people in human soci ety. They gave a special set of principles in the concept of their life, and they formulated a spe cial set of principles for the young people to follow.

Before I try to lay before you their concept of stu dent life, their principles for young people to follow, I give you four sentences, which I want every young man and woman, all students, to memorise and keep as guidelines for your life.

They are four brief sentences and they con tain a very important message. These four brief
sentences which I want you to listen carefully and keep in your memory are as follows :

“When wealth is lost nothing is lost.
When health is lost something is lost.
When character is lost everything is lost.
A person without character is not a man but an animal”.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


THE WEALTH OF CHARACTER :

What distinguishes the human individual from the animal is our behaviour. There is a differ ence between the Charitra (character) of a Pashu (animal) and the Charitra of a Manava (human being). If the Manava does not keep up to this higher standard of Charitra, then even though he may be a human individual in Roopa (form) and Nama (name), he is only an animal because his life, conduct and behavi our is more suitable to the animal than to a man.

Through your behaviour you must prove that you are a human individual. If you have no control over your senses, if you have no principles for your living, if you are subject to anger and passion and gluttony (Kama, Krodha and Vishaya Vilasa), if you have no moderation, then there you have the animal.

Therefore, you have to prove your human status not merely by reading a few text books and
passing a few examinations and getting a degree, but by the manner of your life, conduct and
behaviour. The highest wealth in human life, the highest wealth of youth, is the wealth of
character.

The most precious thing is character.
That is your real treasure.

 If you develop a noble character, then you are really a wealthy person, which means your life is rich with this Aishwarya (wealth) of Satcharitra (noble conduct

To be continued ...
