Guest guest Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Education gives humility. A person who is educated should be humble. Humility will lead you to deservedness and deservedness will in turn get you wealth. Wealth in turn will get you righteousness or Dharma and you will be able to give charity of the right kind. If you want to realise the aspect of Parabrahma, you should not feel proud that you are an educated person. You should first show humility if you want to realise yourself and have happiness. If you show ego and feel proud of your qualifications and your degree, you will be bringing disgrace to the qualifications that you have acquired. If one is not humble, he will not be called an educated person. He may think himself to be educated. Our scriptures which have given the injunction that a person who has acquired ordinary education should be humble, surely lay down much more rigid rules for those who are well versed in Vedas. For all this, the word Swadha is the basis. - From Swami's 1974 Summer Course Discourses in Brindavan. Om Sai Ram The INTERNET now has a personality. YOURS! See your Homepage.
