September 7,1997
Seeing three MBA/MFM students, Swami asked, “What did your Director say?” The students did not reply to Swami’s question. Swami then called their director.
Swami : (Introducing the Director to the students) He is our boy. He has done all his education here from primary to MBA. Now he is the director of Sai Lakshmi Mills. It has the latest modern technology. It has machines where, if you put cotton at one place, cloth comes out from the other end. (To the three students) How is the technology there?
Students : Swami, it is very good.
Swami : (To the Director) What are your future plans?
Director : Swami, I need some more MBA/MFM boys.
Swami : What about these three boys?
Director : They will be sent to Jakarta.
Swami : Indonesia, good, go. Go and work hard there. You must not mix with girls there. Duty Is God, Do Your Duty. Work Is Worship. I know My Boys do not mix with bad things. (To the Director) Put them all in a single room. (To the three students) You are getting a starting salary of Rs 8000/-. Nowhere does this happen. Of course, even expenses are more, taxes, etc. In Prashanti Nilayam, expenses are very less. (Then Swami granted Padanamaskar to the three students) (To the students) You give what I want and I will give you want you want. I do not want anything from you, get good name. Do your duty.
