Dear Children,
I wish for all of you that you may succeed in your life. With this well-wishing I would like to give you some advice.
There is a proverb in India that says, “The taste of amla (a very bitter fruit) and the words of old people do not taste so good in the beginning; but later on, one realizes their goodness.” So, dear children, always remember that if your teacher gives you any advice, take it to your heart. You will see some day that it will prove very useful.
The world into which you are going now is a different world from this one. You will meet many people, good and bad. You should pick up the good qualities of people and give no attention to their bad qualities. Always remember your goal. Hard work, discipline and a firm will, will make you progress like anything.
I send you all my best wishes and I pray to Almighty God to help you in each and every work.
God bless you all,
With all His love,
