THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
What is education? It is of two types: The first type is collection of
facts and knowledge about the external world, and sharing them with students.
The second type is educare. Educare involves the deep understanding of the
knowledge that springs from within, and imparting it to students. But today’s
education gives knowledge only about the external world. Only culture or
refinement can develop good personality and not this type of education. So only
if education is blended with culture, it will shine forth as true education.
What is culture? It is the cultivation of discrimination between good and evil,
sin and merit, and truth and untruth that we experience in our daily life. It
is also removal of one’s evil thoughts, feelings and qualities, and cultivation
of good thoughts, feelings and qualities. Not only this, culture makes one
broad-minded. (Divine Discourse, Nov 20, 2001)
