Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 There are four Houses---the House of God, the House of Education, the House of Food and the House of Medicine. In each of these, you must seek only that for which it is dedicated. Of course, in the hotel you ask for food and in the hospital, you ask for medicine. But, in the House of Education, you do not seek education. You carry into the process of education other needs,wants and cravings. There is no concentrated craving for what good education can do for you. In the temple too, the same is the case. You enter it for one purpose and you pursue other purposes.In the temple, you do not seek to become aware of God. In the college or school, the process of self-education is disturbed and delayed, by extraneous activities. - From Swami's Divine Discourse in Ananthapur on 05.02.1981 From Chandigarh to Chennai - find friends all over India.
