Guest guest Posted October 9, 2001 Report Share Posted October 9, 2001 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: "Before nuclear bombs were invented, people used to fight with guns. Before that, they used to fight with swords. Even before that, they used stones for fighting. In those days, when a war broke out, there was no fear that the entire earth would be destroyed. Today's 'scientific' advancements have ensured that such a fear stares us in our face. The so-called scientific achievements are a result of our present education system. What education? An education that is sold in exchange for money. Our Rishis had imagined that such a situation would arise. They vehemently opposed it. Therefore, they said, 'Guru shushrooshayaa vidyaa,' a disciple should acquire knowledge only by serving his Guru. The Guru should impart knowledge after having been served by the disciple. This is how the transaction should be. There should be no other method, they said."
