Schooling
is not merely for food and delight, for earning a living and to enjoy
leisure. Its true purpose should be to activate the qualities of
wisdom in action, non-attachment and discriminatory power (Viveka, Vairaagya and Vichakshana).
The root is education and the fruit should be virtues. Every school
must shape its students into citizens, worthy of the country’s precious
heritage and spiritual wealth. Otherwise, all schooling is a waste of
time and money. Schools are the temples of the Goddess of Wisdom who
grants to each child the wisdom to grasp the Ultimate Truth and acquire
knowledge that will dispel ignorance for ever. The school must
facilitate this and ensure stability in all the students to practice the
virtues of Truth, Righteousness and Peace, through the blossoming of
Love.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
