Thought for the Day

Education must reveal the path that enables one to tap the dormant spring of Divinity within, without getting entangled with the mass of created objects. It must lay stress on spiritual transformation as more fundamental than even moral uplift. The real sign of an educated person is in their attitude of sameness towards all. They must see the society as a manifestation of Divinity. Education does not lead from nature to all-pervading Atma directly. It leads you to study nature, with the unifying Atmic outlook. When the powers of Nature are subjected to narrow selfishness, they recoil on you as plague. When they are revered as revelations of the Atma, they become beneficial to you. Education equips you with this insight. The process by which you forego your freedom and are bound in the net of desire can never be education. True education must aim at ensuring peace and stability through continuous precept and practice of unity in creation.
