Guest guest Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Teachings of Swami Vivekananda Well, you consider a man as educated if only he can pass some examinations and deliver good lectures. The education which does does not help the common mass of people to equip themselves for the struggle for life, which does not bring out strength of character, a spirit of philanthropy, and the courage of a lion - is it worth the name? Real education is that which enables one to stand on his own legs. The education that you are receiving now in schools and colleges is only making you a race of dyspeptics. You are working like machines merely, and living a jelly-fish existence. (VII. 147-48) Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda.
