Passage ➖3 The real ornament of woman is her character, her purity. Metal and stones can never be real ornaments.The names of women like Sita and Damayanti have become sacred to us for their unsullied virtue, never for their jewellery, if they wore any. My asking from you, your jewellery has also a wider significance. Several sisters have told me that they feel all the better for getting rid of their jewels. I have called this an act of merit in more ways than one. No man or woman is entitled to the possession of wealth, unless he or she has given a fair share of it to the poor and the helpless. It is a social and religious obligation and has been called a sacrifice by the Bhagavad Gita. He who does not offer this sacrifice has been called a thief. The Gita has enumerated many forms of sacrifice, but what greater sacrifice can there be than to serve the poor and the needy? For us, today, there can be no sacrifice higher than to forget the distinctions of high and low and to realize the equality of all men. I also wish to bring home to the women of India that real ornamentation lies not in loading the body with metal and stone, but in purifying the heart and developing the beauty of soul.

भूख और इंसान का रिश्ता जन्म से होता है। जन्म के साथ ही मनुष्य अपनी भूख भी साथ लेकर आता है। भूख किसी भी व्यक्ति के जीवित रहने का प्रमाण है। लेकिन यह भूख हवस का रूप लेने लगे, तो चिन्ता का कारण बनने लगती है। किसी को बेइंतहा लालच, दूसरे की मुसीबत का सबब बन जाती है। भूख और भुखमरी असमानता की सूचक हैं।

Translation →1 हमें पालतू और मूक पशुओं की तरह किसी के पीछे नहीं चलना चाहिए। जीवन के संघर्षों एवं आने वाले खतरों का निर्भीकता एवं साहस के साथ सामना करना चाहिए। भविष्य चाहे कितना भी उज्ज्वल एवं लुभावना क्यों न हो। हमें उस पर भरोसा नहीं करना चाहिए। हमें बीती हुई बातों को बार-बार सोचना नहीं चाहिए। बस अपने कर्तव्यों के प्रति सचेत रहना चाहिए।
