Guest guest Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord You are students and so, I must tell you that the type of education that does not confer on you abiding happiness, an unshakable sense of equanimity and the awareness of Divinity behind every particle in the Universe, is not entitled to that name. Education must implant elevating ideals and kindle the lamp of wisdom. Nowadays, education is aimed at providing a living; it is a bread-and-butter trade. But, do we not have millions who have gone through this mill, wasting money and precious time in the process like you, but yet yearning a decent living and enjoying peace and joy therein? Though they have not gone through school and college, they have had the more valuable schooling in the University of Life. Any system of education that does not help you to discriminate between right and wrong, that does not instill fear of sin and the love of God, train you in codes of humility and reverence, widen the horizon of your wonder, encourage you to worshipfully serve your parents, and inspire you to dedicate your skill and attainments to the progress of your family, village, community, country, language and nation stands condemned! The corruption and cruelty that are rampant in the country can be traced to this grave effect. Selfishness, greed, pomp, and injustice are prevalent in every field. The nation has no peace and the sense of security is feeble. As science develops and technology advances, humility and mutual love should also develop to the same extent. Otherwise, man becomes a menace to man. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. XII, P. 220. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
