Students!
To the extent possible serve the society. Of course, you need to
take up jobs and earn your livelihood. But do not be avaricious
for money. Be satisfied with what you get. Alexander conquered
many kingdoms and seized a lot of wealth. When his end approached,
he realised that he could not take even a single penny with him.
He requested his ministers to keep his two hands raised above the
head during the final journey so that the people would understand
and that even the mighty emperor Alexander had to leave the world
empty-handed. Likewise, everyone has to le this world
empty-handed. Even a millionaire has to partake of only food; he
cannot sustain himself eating gold. So, be satisfied with the
basic necessities of food, clothing and shelter. Do your jobs
properly and undertake service activities in your leisure time.
Develop faith in God. If you do not have faith in God, you will
not have fear of sin. Then you will become a demon. So, fear of
sin and love for God is very essential. If you have these two, you
will be successful in all your endeavours. Consider every good
work as God's work.
