“Education is not acquisition of burdensome information regarding objects and men. It is the awareness of the immortal spirit within, which is the spring of joy, peace and courage.”

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.

Look out into the universe and contemplate the glory of God. Observe the stars, millions of them, twinkling in the night sky, all with a message of unity, part of the very nature of God.

Education has to cultivate humility and discipline, but today it is yielding a harvest of pride and envy.

Education must be orientated towards the attainment of character for leading clean simple lives.

The learned man’s life itself shines as the message for mankind.

I am the slave of those who hunger and thirst after me and treat everything else as unimportant.

Life is a song-sing it. Life is a game-play it. Life is a challenge-meet it. Life is a dream-realize it. Life is a sacrifice-offer it. Life is love-enjoy it.

Real education should enable one to utilise the knowledge one has acquired to meet the challenges of life and to make all human beings happy as far as possible.

Education has to endow you with an eagerness to surrender.

College education gives you the chance to earn money and live thereupon. But, umless it destroys certain illusions that are nourished by the common level of mankind, your lives will not be happy.

Education should serve to enlarge the vision and broaden the outlook of the people.

The universe is a great university.

A man of faith is also full of courage.

The strongest people find the courage and caring to help others, even if they are going through their own storm.

In my experience, men who respond to good fortune with modesty and kindness are harder to find than those who face adversity with courage.

To be sure, we are still aware that thinking calls not only for intelligence and profundity but above all for courage.

Lose not courage, lose not faith, go forward.

Courage consists not in hazarding without fear; but being resolutely minded in a just cause.

Dare to know! Have the courage to use your own intelligence!

The strength of a wall is neither greater nor less than the courage of the men who defend it.
