Guest guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord Modern education negates the virtues of discipline and humility. Science without values, activity dictated by whim, scholarship without experiential knowledge, humanity with no involvement with humans, and music devoid of sweet melody - these are all dull and dreary. They cannot inspire man to appreciation and observance. Therefore, you should give up selfish desires and welcome the Truth beyond the reach of the mind operating through the senses and manifest the Divinity that is your Reality. It is foolish to believe that you have to be "educated", since it leads to jobs. At present, education is oriented to jobs, to secure a living, not to lead a life. Education must teach a person what life is, and what its goal is. It must purify the heart and clarify the vision. It must prevent pollution of the hand, heart and head by habits injurious to the individual, society and the nation. It must promote virtues and raise the moral and spiritual standards of the educated. Reference: BA-BSSSB; Nov.22, 1982-Nov. 22, 1996, P. 11 Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. XIV, P. 173-174.
