[Yesterday I told the Registrar (Prof. A. V. Lakshminarasimham) and VC (Prof. G. Venkataraman) that I would come today at 7:30. I asked the car also to be brought. Why have the boys come here? MBA boys have brought a bundle of letters but did not give it to me.]

Swami : See. See I am here. What are you teaching?
Prof.: International Financial Management.
Swami: Are you teaching marketing?
Prof.: Swami, if you want I can teach that also.
Swami: There is no balance between Pound and Dollar, it is all fluctuating. When are you coming again?

Swami: This month?
Professor: Yes Swami
Swami: Waste of money.
Professor: It is vacation time there, Swami.
Swami: How much do you spend for coming to Parthi from New York?
Professor: 1,000 dollars.
Swami: Money waste.
Another teacher: Swami, it is for You.
(Swami gave Namaskar to the visiting Professor)
Swami: (Referring to the professor) Bahut Achha Teacher Hai. (He is a very good teacher.) He teaches Business Management in New York.
Swami: (To a devotee) Where is your wife? Wife from Nepal and he is from Holland.(Speaking to three old students working in a factory in Bangalore) Why do you come every week? Misuse of money. How much do you get?
Old Student: Swami, ₹8000, free accommodation, free transport.
Swami: What did you study before your MBA?
Old Student 1: Swami, BE (Mechanical).
Swami: (To another old student) And what did you study?
Old Student 2: M.Sc (Chemistry), Swami.
Swami: All ‘O’ grades. (To another old student) And you?
Old Student 3: B.A (Economics).
Swami: Who is Jnana Deva?
Old Student: God of Knowledge.
Swami: From a worldly point of view, Jnana means knowledge. But in a spiritual sense, it is wisdom. God is wisdom, not knowledge. Nothing makes everything. Everything makes nothing. This is Jnanacharita (nature of Jnana).
(To a teacher) When I came back from Madras, nobody was in Brindavan. Only six boys were there, so I took them to Kodaikanal. (To a student) Tamil? Hindi? (Answering Himself) Kerala?

Student: Ernakulam, Swami.
Swami: Since when are you studying here?
Student: Three years, Swami.
Swami: 10th class?
Student: No, Swami. 3rd year BA.
Swami: Add ‘D’ to BA, then it becomes ‘BAD’. (Jokingly)
