Women students and teachers must be ever vigilant that they do not attract the eyes and tongues of men by their dress, movement, laughter or behaviour. Be a little behind in fashion, it does not matter; but do not outrage the traditions and conventions of our culture. (SSSm Vol.4, p.42)

Faith in God is to be translated into action. It is an imperative act of worship to discharge faithfully all one’s duties and responsibilities. It will be dangerous if the right work is not done by the right person at the right time. You must be eager to do your duty as best as you can. Maintain your own self-respect, by this attitude and by this sense of obligation. You must also be vigilant about the honour and reputation of your family and forefathers. (SSS Vol.9, p. 216)
