Strive for the happiness of the community and of the human race. Pray that all men everywhere may have peace and plenty. Be eager to do good and be good…Moderation in food, moderation in talk, and in desires and pursuits; contentment with what little can be got by honest labour, eagerness to serve others and to impart joy to all these are the most powerful of all the tonics and health-preserves known to the science of health, the Sanathana Ayur Veda, the Veda of the full life.
-Sri Sathya Sai Baba
Use all chances you get to develop your skills, your health and your character. That is your present duty. Make lasting friendships. Do not by any action of yours cause pain to another; nor suffer pain yourself, by foolishness or sheer bravado.
In your school, I find there are some girls too; treat them with great respect and do not speak slightingly of them. They are your sisters and by honouring them, you bring honour to yourselves and your sisters. Respect for women is a sign of real culture.
So, I call upon you to read good books; revere your teachers and to love all. Do not dishonour your elders; cultivate the spirit of service and learn how to serve the sick and the needy and seize every chance to help others. Or at least, desist from causing sorrow to others.
