The more important the position you occupy, the greater ought to be your urge to serve your country. Of what use are they, if opportunities are used solely for personal benefit and achievement.
Having got this chance.
Make best use of it:
For once lost, You will not get again
The blessings of serving Partheeswara.
He will promote your devotion,
Grant you strength,
And lead you to Liberation.
Listening to others,
Do not throw this fortune.
Control your mind,
And wipe out for ever,
All your accumulated Karma.
This should be your goal.
