Thought for the day - As written at PRASANTHI NILAYAM Today 15/7/2003

 

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 profitable and beneficial experiences in the future. It

must validate the knowledge gained from these books by these

experiences and in the process make man grow, until he becomes

Divine.
