Education is not to be taken
as a process of filling an empty sack
and pouring out its contents,
making the sack empty again.
It is not the head
that has to be filled through education.
It is the heart that has to be cleansed,
expanded and illumined.
Education is for "life",
not, for a "living".
Again, education is not for
developing the faculty of argument,
criticism or winning a polemic victory
over you opponents or exhibiting
your mastery over language or logic.
That study is best
which teaches you to conquer
this cycle of birth and death,
which gives you the mental equipoise
that will not be affected by the prospect of death,
that will not be disturbed by the blessing or blows of fate.
That study begins where this study of yours end.
