Dear Children,

Best wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year. Hope your life is full of joy, peace and prosperity and will prove to be wonderful in every way for you. May each new day brings along good news in plenty, adding to the chapters of your success, many more interesting pages of glory and triumph.

My dear little ones, the need of all ages and of all countries is the need of cultured men. At the root of all achievements stand two things, a mind to conceive and a character to execute the plan with patience and perseverance. These two things are the product of mental culture and are necessary at all times. But at the present day its need is all the greater because the present day is an age of materialistic competition. It is an age of show and parade where value and morality have no place. Soundness is at a discount and superficiality reigns supreme. So the only way to escape from this danger is mental refinement.

Bright Stars, diplomacy and hypocrisy have spread their deep roots in each and every sphere. Our social life is not free from their clutch. There are some selfish and cruel people with ill motives who have been spoiling the society and the atmosphere. They are a great threat to peace, friendship and stability. They are not in a state of tolerating the good and honest people. So they always do politics in their circles and surroundings and spoil the entire environment. So, only mental culture will enable them to take their proper part and to exercise their right approach.

                   Mental culture thus, is the paramount need at the present time. Goodness is most essential as it is the cardinal virtue without which one is not fully entitled to call himself a man. It has greater inclination and scope for serving humanity. Hence, be truthful, honest, kind hearted and humble. You can teach proper lessons to the civilized beasts (cruel and diplomatic people) and can make the society a place like heaven.
