“Education has to be welcomed as a Spiritual Practice for the establishment of Peace in the individual heart as well as in society including the human commonwealth.”

The end of knowledge is wisdom The end of culture is perfection The end of wisdom is freedom The end of education is character. And character consists of eagerness to renounce one’s selfish greed.

Education must open the eyes and enable them to recognise the One behind the many.

Character is the most precious gift of education.

True education consists in the cultivation of the heart.

Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the sleeping humanity in one’s heart.

Education should ennable the students, but instead it is debasing them. Instead of shaping the young into diamonds, it is turning them into coals. It is not bringing transformation in them, It is not bestowing wisdom.

The father, the mother and the teacher are the three primarily responsible for moulding the future of the country.

Man learns through experience, and the spiritual path is full of different kinds of experiences. He will encounter many difficulties and obstacles, and they are the very experiences he needs to encourage and complete the cleansing process.

The objective of education should be impressed on the children’s minds. The academic education of today is shallow and useless because it has no value orientation.

Unless knowledge is transformed into wisdom, and wisdom is expressed in character; education is a wasteful process.

The cultivation of Love is the greatest need today.

To every one of us there must come a time when the whole universe will be found to have been a dream, when we find the soul is infinitely better than its surroundings. It is only a question of time, and time is nothing in the infinite.

Let anyone speak hundreds of things against you, do not resent by giving a bitter reply. If you tolerate such things, you will certainly be happy. If anybody wants any money from you, and you are not inclined to give, do not give. But do not bark at him like a Dog.

You seek too much information and not enough transformation.

The nation can prosper and be happy only when education develops in an atmosphere of Truth, Love and Reverence.

Let love flow so that it cleanses the world. Then man can live in peace, instead of the state of turmoil he has created through his past ways of life, with all those material interests and earthly ambitions.

You know there are very few Marxists left in the world they’re all in American universities.

We must believe in the power of education. We must respect just laws. We must love ourselves, our old and or young, our women as well as our men.

That’s the way I’ve been educated: I always think about what I missed and the things that you did, you did them, so you don’t have to think about them any more.

We believe, that is, you and I, that education is not an expense. We believe it is an investment.

The best teacher is not the one who knows most but the one who is most capable of reducing knowledge to that simple compound of the obvious and wonderful.

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.

We must believe in the power of education. We must respect just laws. We must love ourselves, our old and or young, our women as well as our men.

When bright young minds can’t afford college, America pays the price.
