Major Discourses:
Question 1.
You have read the lesson Swami is Expelled from School.
Narrate the reflections (thoughts) of Swami after he had left his school?
Answer:
Swami rushed out of the school saying, "1 dont care for your dirty school." As he walked homewards, the tears that had been controlled till then found their way out. And they came out in floods. Swami didnt mind them. His mind was swarmed with different kinds of thoughts. His heart ached with insult. His body burned, with pain. His mind was hot with a heavy flow of thoughts. He did not notice passing persons
He didnt even take care to walk to the left of the road. In fact, his legs took him along the regularly used .path. At last, somehow he reached home with school bag on his back. The face with the marks of tears, the shoulders with the prints of the cane, and the heart, most, importantly, with the load of insult and suffering!
Swamis mother was moved on seeing Swamis pathetic state. Her eyes turned wet as she saw the red scars on Swamis shoulders. With choked throat, she asked Swami what had happened. Even the anxious father eagerly looked forward to listening to Swami. His parents anxiety touched Swami. He tried to be as cool as possible. He started narrating the incident at school very briefly.
"Our headmaster beats me every day. For one reason or the other, he scolds me and that too in a foul way. He repeatedly warns me with dire consequences." As he continued, it became difficult for him to control his tears. Still he tried to suppress the sobs and paused for a while.. Father took that opportunity to ask, "Why does your headmaster beat you alone every day without any reason ?"
That
Question hit Swamis heart like an arrow. Yet he restrained his feelings and said in an emotion filled voice* "Dad, he beats everyone, not me alone; that is his nature, his hobby, his practice. You can check it with any of our school students. The only difference is on the days of visits by officers or village elders."
"Then," interrupted mother with concern, "what shall we do ?" "I shall join some other school," prompt was the reply from Swami lest father should announce a dif-ferent decision
Noticing the resolute voice of Swami, even father wanted Swamis words to prevail. Mother was too willing. She sighed in relief as there was no opposition from father. Swami started dreaming of his new school!

Dear Diary,
What a wretched school! How cruelty has taken the shape of this headmaster ? Dont they understand our feelings ? Werent they too children at one time ? Didnt they cause any nuisance when they were children ? Yes, I did break the panes in a moment of childish behaviour. Have I not been honest in not denying the charge ? Is it not enough to scold us in the whole class ? He went on insulting us, beating us and threatening us with dismissals. Is that the way to correct us
Shouldnt they give us a chance to set ourselves right ? I wish I werent a student of this horrible school. Thank God ! At least now, I gathered enough courage to come out of the school. I can join some other school. I think any other school will definitely be better than this bloody school. Any how, I too should and will be more careful about my behaviour and friends. I should think of my studies and my parents too. Yes, in one way, the incident is a lesson for me. I should make utmost use of it!
Swami
