Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam - Mar 26th, 2006

[Guest guest]

Students today are seeking education not for the sake of knowledge but

as a means to earn money or wield power. This is not true education. It

is the discovery of one's spiritual essence that constitutes real

education. The world is in sore need of spiritual discipline. All the

evils that we witness in the world today stem from a perverted system

of education. The so-called educated persons have no control over their

senses. Self-control is the only means to real bliss. The primary need

is the development of self-control among students. They must be able to

remain firm in their minds and unwavering in their outlook in any

circumstance. This can be achieved only through spiritual discipline.
