When you feed the cow with fermented gruel so that it may yield more milk, the milk emits an unpleasant smell. When people engross themselves too much with the trifles of the world, their conduct and character become unpleasant. It is indeed tragic to witness the downfall of the 'child of immortality' (man), struggling in despair and distress. If only every one examines these: What are my qualifications? What is my position? They can soon realize their downfall. Will a tiger, however hungry, eat popcorn or monkey nuts? Aim at the goal which your lineage entitles you; how can the parrot taste the sweetness of the mango if it pecks at the fruit of the cotton-tree? Let your effort be in-keeping with the dignity of the goal. Never slacken effort, whatever the obstacle, however long the journey.
- Divine Discourse, September 7, 1966.
Follow the master, face the devil, fight to the end, finish the game.
Education does not consist in the accumulation of information and facts from a multitude of books. Reading of books can only enrich you in the information that you may gather but can never give or promote good qualities. Good education is a process by which character is improved and by which one will be able to use one's intelligence and sharpen one's mind so as to distinguish right from wrong. It is only when the contents of education are closely linked with ideals of sacrifice, forbearance, truth, and love that the youth will get the benefit of education. Students will never get any benefit out of education if it is devoid of these noble principles.
