Once, Sri Aurobindo asked a group of students in Calcutta: "For what purpose are you studying? If you are going to make use of education for the benefit of the nation persue your studies. Otherwise, you better burn your books. If you are studying only out of selfish motives, the education is of no value at all. If you intent only on earning a living, you may as well beg from door to door. You must be prepared to sacrifice yourselves for your Motherland".
He wrote "Breathes there the man with soul so dead who never to himself had said: This is my mother-tongue. To love my country is my religion."
