" Education should fill one's heart with love and compassion. Two parts of 
hydrogen and one part of oxygen add up to make water. Greatness lies in sharing 
water equally, not making it. Everyone has an equal right in sharing water. 
Today everyone is fighting for rights but what about responsibility?

Students! You do not need to fight for rights. Discharge your responsibilities, 
rights will follow. Do your duty, duty is God; work is worship. What is your 
right? To make everybody happy is your right. Serve everybody and make everyone 
happy without expecting anything in return. Service is God. "The best way to 
love God is to love all and serve all". "Speak softly and sweetly". "You cannot 
always oblige, but you can speak always obligingly". That is the essence of 
Bharatiya Vidya. Education does not mean "Twinkle, Twinkle little star, how I 
wonder what you are?" All this is artificial education.
 
- From Bhagawan's 1998 Convocation Discourse
