Students! You are the future citizens of Bharat. Whether it is a worthwhile example that you are seeking for your everyday life or whether it is an ideal you are searching for in your heart and mind, if only you can introduce an amount of sacredness, then we can say that you are seeking Yogakshema. It is not a great thing to acquire good qualities, but real greatness lies in keeping and preserving the great good qualities you acquire. Making a conscious effort in acquiring what you should acquire, namely, good ideals and good thoughts, has been referred as Yoga and then a conscious effort to retain and use what you have acquired is called Kshema. This is Yogakshema. This body which is transient, which is uncertain, which is going to fall down one day or the other, looms large in our view and we think that the good of such body is Yogakshema. You may protect it as long as you like but when the time comes, this is going to drop down and die. It is better to live for three years or three days as a good person than live foe a hundred years as a bad person. Do not be a crow and go about living for a long time, Be a swan and live for a short time. (SSB 1977, p. 120)
