Teacher and student together help to promote the welfare of the nation. Both of them should realise that their welfare is bound up with the well-being of the society as a whole. (SSS Vol.22, p. 6)

For man to promote himself and his knowledge, control of senses and control of mind are necessary and those are not easily done, What we should do today is to see that the mind does not take the wrong path but is diverted to the right path. Many people who want to control their senses and their minds, make several attempts but having become unsuccessful in their attempts, they even lose their faith in the spiritual path. Some of them become atheists. By the paths of Sama,Dama,upeksha,tithiksha, Shraddha and samadana, we will be able to understand the divine aspect. (SSB 1977, p. 233)
