The educational system must be based
on the four principles of Truth, Righteousness,
Peace and Love. But, this has not happened.
Therefore, we find it burdened with problems.
It is full of conflict and confusion.
Humility, detachment, discrimination,
eagerness to serve others, reverence,
renunciation - such virtues are absent among the educated.
No one is prepared to give up;
every one is anxious to grab.
A garland can be made only when
we have flowers, thread and needle.
A system of education needs intelligence (flowers),
devotion (thread) and the spirit of renunciation and service (needle)
to become beneficial.
Raising the standard of living
must also mean raising ethical, moral
and spiritual standards. Then only can
education lead to progress in human values and harmony in social life.
