ANANTAPUR,NOVEMBER 23:

 

Sri Satya Saibaba has said that whoever has satvic nature, tells truth

and has devotion is the real student. Though everybody says he is

following truth and dharma, in real life he is not really doing it.

 

Saibaba expressed anguish that people go to temples to seek salvation

but as soon as they come out, they pursue selfish ends.

 

Since the present day students have contracting bad habits easily,

Saibaba said he had established Satya Sai Education Institutions. A

person who has good nature will have peace and the rich man will have

only bad habits. In the olden days the teachers without any

selfishness used to mould the students who used to serve society,

Saibaba said.

 

He exhorted the present day students to serve their fellow beings.

Though there are crores of students in the world, they lack service

motive.

The education would have meaning only when they serve society, Saibaba

said. Baba addressed the devotees on the occasion of the 24th

convocation of Satya Sai Deemed University today.

 

Earlier, the students of Saibaba educational institutions welcomed

Saibaba to the dais at Sai Kulwant Hall at Prashanti Nilayam.

Karnataka Governor TN Chaturvedi was the chief guest. Saibaba told the

students that end of education is truth.

 

Earlier, Baba distributed pattas among the students. University

Vice-Chancellor VK Gokak, former justice Bhagawat, Ministers

Raghuveera Reddy, J Geeta Reddy, PCC president Keshav Rao and ZP

chairman G Tippeswamy among others were present.

 

In his address, Saibaba said education gives only bodily pleasures and

fill the stomach but it cannot get devotion or salvation. Education is

useless for a bad man and it is not making man good. An educated man

should be a well-wisher of all people.

 

The education is only increasing selfishness in people but it will

have meaning only when it helps a man become selfless, Saibaba

exhorted. A man of peace, which can be imbibed only with truth, dharma

and love, will do a lot of good to society. Though all the persons

seek peace, nobody really makes effort to achieve it.

 

Saibaba said even now some judges don't know how to speak and be

truthful. Truth and god are one, said Saibaba. The students should

have good behaviour, good friends and read good books. Money will only

corrupt man and gives bad friends which destroys future. Saibaba said

real teachers are one who teach how to love others.

 

Many people have illusion that they can buy peace and happiness with

money which is not true. A man's life is useless without self standing.

 

Even animals express their love. But man is using his intellect for

selfish purposes. He exhorted the people to shun selfishness and

follow the path of truth and dharma.
