Education is an ornament for you, it is

your secret wealth that confers

prosperity and fame. It is one's unfailing
kinsman in foreign travel. More than
wealth, this secures the respect of rulers.
Education is the basis for leading a
purposeful life in the physical world, in
the realm of the mind and in society. It
equips you with mental strength and
steadiness to face the challenges in life
and
understand
the
myriad
manifestations in Nature. Only when you
understand the power of your mind, you
can recognise the relationship between
the world and society. Education should
promote discrimination and humility, and
enable you to recognise your obligations
to your parents and others who have
made you who you are today. Gratitude
is a supreme virtue. Be grateful to your
parents. Broaden your vision. Be aware of
the Divinity that is inherent in every
being. Cultivate the spirit of love and fill
your life with joy. (Divine Discourse, Nov
22 1988)
