What is the essence of true education? Bhagawan lovingly explains to us today.
“The
leaf-plate on which a full lunch has been served will lie low on the
floor. The leaf-plate on which nothing is placed will hop high with
every gust of wind.” Thus says the proverb. So too, the person who has
much scholarship and many skills will lead an unassuming life. But one
who has not derived genuine education and the strength it can confer
lives in pomp and pride. That person struggles to hide defects from
being known to others. And, in the end, the struggles don’t succeed. One
meets with double ruin — one doesn’t experience spiritual bliss (ananda)
and one doesn’t impart it to others. In the end, one becomes the target
of ridicule. Therefore, don’t allow the desire for ostentation to enter
the mind; don’t allow egotism to approach you. Be humble and be loyal
to high ideals. Only then can you serve the cause of world peace and
prosperity.
- Vidya Vahini, Ch 15
