Guest guest Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord Education today does not feed the roots of law, justice and morality, three fields which ought to receive special attention. Can a system concerned with food for the stomach train pupils to meet challenges of life which require a strong self-reliant character? No, it can only smother even the inborn virtues of love and truth. Education must instill the fundamental human values; it must broaden the vision to include the entire world and all mankind. When earning money is held as the goal, the system fosters falsehood and injustice, it restricts the vision to family and community, and brings in its train anxiety, sorrow and hatred. Education must equip man to live happily without making others unhappy, to evaluate things, pleasure and possessions correctly and without prejudice, and to fix one's attention ever on the highest and most precious achievement of all, the Atmic victory. The spiritual stream must flow in the heart as the source and spring of all endeavor. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. XV, P. 2-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
