Education is only for the body and the mind. It is external. Educare is from within. It deals with the inner feelings. When inner feelings are not pure, even vocabulary cannot be pure. Outer action is a function of the inner feelings. Expression of educare in the outer world is true education. Only experienced people can understand this inner principle. All degrees such as BA, B.Sc…..are external. Those who have understood the inner nature are very rare in this world.

There are three Gunas that drive us in life. Satva arises from within. Rajas is passion in action. Control over these is most essential. Do not use sports and games which stand for Rajas to communicate the higher Truth – Paramaartha. Instead, based on Paramaartha carry out your physical activities. Without Adharam (basis) there can be no Adheyam (based).

Ekoham Bahusyaam. The One has become many. There are so many bulbs here in this Hall. But the current that is lighting all of them is One. Everything comes from God only. Sugar is the same in all sweets. Bereft of Love you are not a human at all. True Will Power is also an expression of the Atma. Atma is the source of everything.

When God descends on earth, He behaves like an ordinary human being so that all humans can understand Him clearly. Atma represents oneness of all beings. Degrees are different but learning is the same. Cows are different but the milk is same. Ornaments are different but the gold is the same. It is God only who manifests as Man, Woman and the child.

What is true Japam? Is it holding the Japa Mala and praying to God? No. When you forget all worldly matters – that is true Japam. What is the use of merely closing your eyes and sitting? Be it Japam or Tapam – all of them ultimately lead you to the Atma. Honey bees fly around everywhere and finally settle down for the nectar in the flower. It could be a Jasmine flower or a rose flower. Ultimately, it is interested only in the nectar!

Why did we start this College? It is to develop good virtues, character and good conduct. Without desires you cannot achieve anything. Therefore, consider this desire also as the Will of God. Be it a man or a woman, if the heart is pure, he / she will be successful in any venture.

Realize the value of diamond. Diamond stands for Die Mind! Annihilation of the mind. Mind is the basis of this whole universe. Without controlling the mind, what is the use of all achievements? Annihilation of the mind makes you a Paramahamsa. Do not follow the mind. It yields sweets fruits outside but the juice inside is bitter.

Students, you may read so many books but understanding is very important. What is the use of merely chanting the Vedas? You must make an attempt to understand the meaning. Whether you like the Vedas or not – Vedas are Vedas! They are very sacred.

Dear students. (At this point, Prof. Anil Kumar translated as – Students. Swami corrected him saying DEAR Students and Prof. Anil Kumar repeated DEAR Students!!) You know a lot related to the material world. But you do not understand the inner feelings. Bulbs are many but the inner current is one. We must be able to experience the spiritual feeling even in this physical world.

Leave all your burden and responsibilities to God and discharge your duties in this world. Then alone, you will be able to acquire true education. Education is not just going through books. Be convinced of two things: 1) There is Divinity 2) We must do everything, all actions, to please God. God goes only by inner feelings and motives while the world goes by outer expressions and behaviour. God is Bhava Priya and not Bahya Priya.

Each one must ask the question – Who am I? Not just - Who are you? A true aspirant is one who understands this Oneness. Father, Mother all these are based on physical relationships. Be true to your name. For example, Ramaiah must live like Lord Rama. Many students have a desire to complete their B.Com. and then go to USA for taking up of a job. Do not entertain too many desires. I always tell the Ladies, wear one bangle on each hand. If you wear too many bangles, they will clash with each other and make sound. So have fewer desires.

Above all, have total faith in God. Students, I am not happy with your just earning degrees. You should be pure outwardly and inwardly, both. Be always happy. Get a good name. People should say – see this person, he is so good, he always minds his own business, never interferes with unnecessary matters. Never get the title of ‘Rowdy’!! Get the title ‘Good Boy’. This can come from good work, good thoughts and good conduct. In Telugu, guddu means egg, not that guddu!

Students, you are all Embodiments of Love. You want God but your actions are not in line with your wish. Therefore, develop unity of thought, word and deed. I want you all to be united. Pray to God and get a good name. It is only then that the purpose of setting up this Institute will be fulfilled. I am always with you. Grow in your devotion and share the same with all. That will make Me happy!!

Today is Uttarayana. If you have good thoughts and feelings now, you will certainly get a good name, surely you will. When I see you all, I feel so happy! Happiness is union with God. Do not worry about your examinations. Write what comes to your head. I will take care.

Saying so, Swami sat down on His chair and sang the Bhajan – Bhajan Bina Sukha Shanti Nahin…

He again continued…. Though My physical body is weak, I am attending to all My duties.
