Guest guest Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord Character makes life immortal; it survives even death. Some say "Knowledge is Power," but it is not true. Character is Power. Even the acquisition of knowledge demands a good character. So, everyone must yearn to attain flawless character, without any trace of evil. Education without purification of one's personality is like a kite whose twine has snapped. ....Education without refinement of character is like a rudderless boat - no one knows where it will take us! Education bereft of purity of character is like a dungeon where no light streams in and where only beasts of desire, anger, etc., live. ....Education devoid of character is like a coin which has lost its currency. Without character, wealth, education, social status, all these are of no avail. .... Poets, painters, artists and scientists may be great, each in his own field, but without character, they can have no standing in society. Among the qualities that make up a flawless character, Love, Patience, Forbearance, Steadfastness, Charity - these are the highest; these have to be revered. Reference: Prema Vahini, P. 1-3.
