పిల్లలకు కంచి పరమాచార్య బోధ

Suppose there is a person whose job is to carry a load on his head or shoulder. If he has a catch in his hip what will he do? Even if he is able to carry some load at that stage, he will not do so. He will first get well and then start carrying the load once he is completely well.

Doing good to the world is also like carrying a load. One needs energy for doing it. If without having sufficient energy one attempts to carry that load he will only fall ill physically and mentally. At a young age, when the mind has not become sufficiently strong, if activities other than studies are undertaken, the mind will become sick.
