A WORD TO THE ACADEMICALLY PROFICIENT YOUTH OF INDIA WHO ARE FRESHMEN TO THE UNIVERSITY OF LIFE
When I see young women and men qualify with high academic degrees with the lustre of enlightenment on their faces, I am filled with fresh inspiration to work even harder for the academic and spiritual betterment of my motherland for the sake of these bright young ones upon whose imagination and action thereof lies the future fate of the one beloved I have held above all in all these years of my life. May God bless you dear young ones, the fresh entrants to the university of life after having done with the preliminary study in the man-made university ! I here recall Pramathanath Bishi's famous remark that a person having stepped out of the university steps in truth into the real university of the world, and that every well-educated person is self-educated. May God grant you, O bright young graduates of India, light and love for the motherland to serve her and raise her countless hapless millions from the mire of material misery into the sunshine of life, the life to which you in your acquired and absorbed knowledge are freshmen today !
