Education

has to cultivate humility and discipline; but today it is yielding a

harvest of pride and envy. ‘Vidya’ means: ‘Vid’ (Light) and ‘Ya’ (that

which gives). So education has to shed light and illumine the darkness

in the mind and the intellect. It does not indicate mere bookish

knowledge. It has to clarify the kinship of man with man and his

intimate relationship with nature. It must harmonize one's earlier

experiences with one's present ones, and guide one to beneficial

experiences in the future. It must validate the knowledge gained from

the books by the experiences and in the process make man grow, until he

becomes Divine.
