K: Begin with yourself first. S: OK, so you are not corrupt - I am just giving an example - and you go for a job and there is the managing director interviewing you, and he directly asks you for a bribe or you don't get the job. K: Don't get a job. Why don't you stand for something? S: Without a job I cannot live. K: Don't live. S: Then what is the purpose of coming into the world? K: Find out. You see you are all so weak, you give in. Suppose you say, no, sorry, I won't be corrupt, and you collect people around you, you work for it. S: Sir, but if there are only five people around me... K: That's good enough. Begin. ... K: If you don't get a job... S: You don't want to be corrupt and you don't want to accept the bribe, you don't get the job, then what can you do after that? K: Become a gardener. What is wrong with becoming a gardener, what is wrong with being poor? Educatedly poor - what's wrong? S: How do you live? S: What is the use of this education? K: What is the use of this education? Probably none at all. S: Being literate you can't go for gardening. K: Then you do something literate. You people never - you are all so - I won't use certain words - you are all so mediocre. That's what I am objecting to. S: What does that mean? K: Mediocre means - in the English language, mediocre means going up the hill half way, never going to the top of it. You understand that? Don't become mediocre. S: Why have we given such positions to people, like a gardener, we say that he is something different from us, and none of us want to become gardeners because it will be something... K: Because, I don't mind being a gardener, I don't care what people think, whether I am a minister or somebody, I don't care. I do what I think is right.
