“Education today is a process of filling the mind with the contents of books, emptying the contents in the examination hall and returning empty-headed.”

You must pass your days in song. Let your whole life be a song.

Unity of minds, natural love and co-operation, are the qualities we have to develop today. Education is not for securing university degrees.

Wisdom flashes like lightening amidst the clouds of the inner sky; one has to foster the flash, and preserve the light. That is the true sign of the ‘educated’ person.

What the world needs today is neither a new order, a new education, a new system, a new society nor a new religion. The remedy lies in a mind and a heart filled with holiness.

Education must promote peace, security and happiness.

Education does not mean the imparting of verbal knowledge alone.

Hands that serve are holier than lips that pray.

You are not educated if all you have achieved is the study of ten books.

There is no use if knowledge grows while desires multiply. It makes one a hero in words and a zero in action.

True beauty lies in true education.

Man is lost and is wandering in a jungle where real values have no meaning. Real values can have meaning to man only when he steps on to the spiritual path, a path where negative emotions have no use.

True knowledge is that which establishes harmony and synthesis between ience on the one hand and spirituality and ethics on the other.

Pure love is the chief manifestation of education.

Man seeks to change the foods available in nature to suit his tastes, thereby putting an end to the very essence of life contained in them.

You must be a lotus, unfolding its petals when the sun rises in the sky, unaffected by the slush where it is born or even the water which sustains it!

No joy can equal the joy of serving others.

I’m a writer, and I will write what I want to write.

So the writer who breeds more words than he needs, is making a chore for the reader who reads.

Despite the enormous quantity of books, how few people read! And if one reads profitably, one would realize how much stupid stuff the vulgar herd is content to swallow every day.

Be awesome! Be a book nut!

Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations.

If it’s a good book, anyone will read it. I’m totally unashamed about still reading things I loved in my childhood.

If you would be a reader, read; if a writer, write.

I am a part of everything that I have read.
